Home care

Contact the service counselling for older persons or the home care of your municipality of residence. The home care will be adapted according to your needs.

The service can also be arranged with a service voucher.

If you are a new customer, you can contact the elderly customer service centre. If you are already a home care customer, you will be given contact details by your own home care team when the customer relationship begins.

You are eligible for home care if:

• Your functional capacity is clearly lowered and you cannot cope, with the help of your relatives or next of kin, with regular daily basic activities, such as eating, getting dressed, using the toilet, washing, other basic care or medicinal care. We will assess your service need by estimating your functional capacity and the illnesses that hinder coping at home, your living conditions and social network.
• Due to illnesses or lowered functional capacity, you require special professional care, examinations and health monitoring and you cannot use health services outside the home.
• Your relative is caring for you and requires the support of home care.

The service is liable to charges.

Home care includes services provided at home and home nursing. Home services include care and nurture, supporting clients in coping with everyday life and maintaining their functional capacity. Home nursing consists of health and medical care services that are provided at the client’s home on a temporary basis for the treatment of their illness. If necessary, home care can be provided at all times of the day.
