The purpose of this study was to investigate a nursing home for people who were previously homeless. The study was based on a case study done on the nursing home Gamlebo. The fol-lowing questions were asked, (1) What conditions apply for the job? (2) How is work carried out ? (3) What are the needs of the residents at Gamlebo? (4) What distinguishes Gamlebo from other nursing homes for older people? A qualitative approach was used along with semi-structured interviews. The theory was made with standard theory. The results showed that the staff at Gamlebo had the potential to work through clear guide-lines that took into account the residents' individual needs. Work was conducted with individ-ual solutions and most importantly a good treatment. A good treatment was according to the staff crucial when working with the residents. The residents were characterized by their homelessness and had a distrust of society. To create trust towards the residents was therefore crucial and to wait out the residents own will. What distinguishes Gamlebo from other tradi-tional nursing homes is that the staff has the expertise and experience to meet older people who have been homeless in their own terms.
