At Louiselund the elderly live comfortably and close to nature. The nursing home offers both senior housing and assisted living facilities as well as rehabilitation facilities for the Municipality of Hørsholm.

Louiselund is located close to nature. The building complex is gently integrated on a sout-west facing hillside close to Kokkedal Castle and Rungsted Forrest. We have focused on creating a dignified setting for people who have entered a vulnerable phase of life. Therefore, the building complex intuitively flows between the privacy of the assisted living facilities, the common areas and the nature outside. The residents live with an abundance of daylight and a view the landscape.

Short distances, clear connections and a compact sequence of rooms are all part of ensuring the staff a well-functioning workday.
