Coming soon

In Kalviai village, Kaišiadorys district, a project funded by the European Union and the Lithuanian state is getting under way. It aims to convert a former school building into a modern centre for long-term social care, nursing and palliative care.

From a former school to a modern centre

The former school building by Lake Kalviai is to be adapted over time for social care and health care services. The current stage is devoted to the design preparation of this vision.

The capacity and range of services of the future centre will be refined while the design solutions are prepared and the options for later implementation stages are assessed.

The plan is to follow the principles of energy efficiency, fire safety, universal design and accessibility.

One place – medicine, care and emotional support

The future centre will focus on an integrated service model that combines medical care, long-term social care and emotional support for patients and their loved ones.

“Our goal is to create a place where a person feels safe and respected. The setting by Lake Kalviai, its calm and a professional team will let us offer the kind of care we would want for our own loved ones,” says Aurelijus Grikinis, director of UAB “Kalvių namai” and project manager.

What does the current project cover?

During the project period from 15 September 2026 to 15 September 2028, the plan is to prepare the design documentation and carry out the related preparatory work.

This funding is not intended for the construction, fit-out or start of operations of the whole future centre. Those works will be addressed in separate stages.

Importance for the region and project administration

The need for long-term care, nursing and palliative care is growing. Adapting the derelict building would create conditions for new services and jobs in Kaišiadorys district.

The project is implemented by UAB “Kalvių namai”; project administration is carried out by UAB “ThinkFin”.

In Kalviai village, Kaišiadorys district, a site preparation project funded by the EU and the Lithuanian state is getting under way. The territory of the derelict former school will be cleared and prepared for the next stages of infrastructure development.

From site preparation to landscaping

The project will prepare the former school grounds for further infrastructure development and carry out the necessary demolition, dismantling and landscaping works.

The scope includes removing worn-out and no longer needed elements, preparing the site and other actions related to making the construction site safe.

The works will be carried out in line with the approved design solutions and the applicable safety and environmental requirements.

Safety and environmental protection

While the old infrastructure is being dealt with, waste management and environmental requirements will be observed, including the safe removal of hazardous construction waste, if any is identified.

Adapting the existing building to a new purpose helps to use infrastructure more rationally and to reduce unnecessary demolition.

Jobs and benefits for the region

The project seeks to create conditions for revitalising the area, further investment and the growth of social and health care services in the region.

The cleared site will enable the further development of the care and health centre. The site preparation project itself does not cover the construction of the whole future centre.

Implementation

The project is implemented by UAB “Kalvių namai”; the project manager is director Aurelijus Grikinis. The application was prepared and administration is carried out by UAB “ThinkFin”, led by Rūta Untulienė.

The implementation period is from 15 September 2026 to 15 September 2028.

The projects are funded by the European Regional Development Fund and the state budget of the Republic of Lithuania under the 2022–2030 Regional Development Programme (100% of eligible project costs).
