The organization

In the Administration of the Elderly and Disabled, the city of Odense is divided into three areas – East, South and West.

If you receive help from us, your address decides the area the assistance will come from, while your disability decides which staff will advice, help and support you.

Each area is divided into five general groups, of which the staff has special expert knowledge.

These are:

• Physical disabilities
• Congenital brain damage
• Acquired brain damage
• Progressing illness
• Mental illness
