Plymska Huset har tillkommit genom en donation av F J Plym. Han var f\u00f6dd i Puketorp, B\u00e4ckaby och kom \u00e5r 1870 tillsammans med sina f\u00f6r\u00e4ldrar till USA. Han var d\u00e5 ett \u00e5r gammal. Vid 13 \u00e5rs \u00e5lder fick han s\u00f6ka sin utkomst p\u00e5 egen hand. Han sparade av sina inkomster och detta gjorde det m\u00f6jligt f\u00f6r honom att skaffa sig h\u00f6gskoleutbildning i Valparaiso och New York, d\u00e4r han avlade arkitektexamen.<\/p>\n
Plym bes\u00f6kte B\u00e4ckaby flera g\u00e5nger. Av sin mor fick han veta hur sv\u00e5rt de gamla och fattiga hade det i hemsocknen. Tanken f\u00f6ddes d\u00e5 hos honom att g\u00f6ra n\u00e5got f\u00f6r sin hembygd. \u00c5r 1929 fick socknen ta emot 100 000 kronor till ett \u00e5lderdomshem.<\/p>\n
Han ritade byggnaden sj\u00e4lv. Alla rum skulle ligga \u00e5t s\u00f6der, \u00e5t tr\u00e4dg\u00e5rden och v\u00e4gen. Inga trappor fick f\u00f6rekomma d\u00e4r de gamla skulle g\u00e5. Huset \u00e4r byggt i tegel och har en speciell arkitektur.<\/p>\n
De donerade medlen som ej gick \u00e5t f\u00f6r byggnaden och dess inredning placerades i en fond. Byggnaden anv\u00e4ndes som \u00e5lderdomshem till augusti 1995 d\u00e5 verksamheten lades ner. B\u00e4ckaby Sockenr\u00e5d har, sedan nedl\u00e4ggningen f\u00f6rst kom p\u00e5 tal, k\u00e4mpat f\u00f6r att den ursprungliga verksamheten skulle f\u00e5 vara kvar i byggnaden. Kommunfullm\u00e4ktige beslutade i oktober 1995 att g\u00f6ra en om- och tillbyggnad f\u00f6r 10 v\u00e5rdplatser. P g a det k\u00e4rva ekonomiska l\u00e4get ans\u00e5g kommunen det tills vidare orealistiskt att bygga enligt beslutet och i september 1998 blev B\u00e4ckaby Sockenr\u00e5d lovade ekonomiskt st\u00f6d om n\u00e5gon verksamhet kunde komma ig\u00e5ng i byggnaden.<\/p>\n
En forskningscirkel, under ledning av docent Owe \u00c5hlund, Lund, startades. Resultatet blev att Sockenr\u00e5det beslutade starta l\u00e4gerg\u00e5rd och dagcentral i byggnaden. Projektst\u00f6d f\u00f6r \u00e5r 1999 och 2000 erh\u00f6lls fr\u00e5n Sm\u00e5landsgruppen FGH dvs.Vetlanda kommun, J\u00f6nk\u00f6pings l\u00e4ns landsting, staten och Europeiska Regionalfonden. Invigningen skedde den 4 september 1999.<\/p>\n
Verksamheten drivs i B\u00e4ckaby Sockenr\u00e5ds regi genom en deltidsanst\u00e4lld samt ideellt arbete. Vetlanda kommun uppl\u00e5ter byggnaden och l\u00e4mnar ekonomiskt st\u00f6d.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
