- treatment and care cannot be carried out otherwise.
For people with disabilities, 24-hour sheltered housing can also be arranged at their home.

Clients may furnish their own homes. The client pays a monthly fee for 24-hour sheltered housing, which is determined on the basis of rent and income. The fee includes services included in sheltered housing with 24-hour assistance. The client also pays for their medicines and other expenses (e.g. haircut). 24-hour sheltered housing is provided by public and private service providers.
