Regular home care for the elderly

We help the elderly live independently at home.

Regular home care is intended for persons with reduced functional capacity due to age, illness or disability, and who are unable to cope independently in everyday life with the support of family members or other services.

Regular home care is granted based on an assessment of service needs when the need for service is continuous, daily or weekly and continues for at least two months.

We will create an individual care and service plan with you, working alongside your family and friends to implement it.

The plan will include individual goals and methods for managing those everyday matters that you cannot handle independently. Typically, clients need help with eating, washing up, getting dressed, getting up from bed and chairs, mobility, personal hygiene, medication or daily chores related to the tidiness of the home environment.

The care and service plan is evaluated regularly, and the services can be increased, reduced or discontinued as necessary in this context.

Regular home care supports living at home and your autonomy in life. We will guide and encourage you to use your personal resources to maintain your functional capacity and continue living at home for as long as possible.

Home care visits may refer to visits carried out at your home or contacting you via a remote device. Home care services utilise well-being technology, such as an electronic door-opening system and an automatic medicine dispenser.

In addition to home care, home care services include home nursing. We provide you with 24/7 service.

Home care can be produced as the wellbeing services county's own activities, as an outsourced service or through contract service providers with a service voucher.

Regular home care is subject to a fee. The monthly fee is determined by the number of hours spent in home care and the household's total gross income. The amount is also affected by whether the client is a disabled veteran.

If you feel that you or your loved one needs regular home care, contact Senior Info.
