Services promoting well-being for the elderly
The purpose of the services promoting well-being is to support well-being and health as well as living at home and being self-reliant.
The services can be provided as the well-being services county's own services, organised by municipalities, cities, private operators or the third sector. There are regional variations in the provision and availability of the services.
The services provided to you by the well-being services county include:
- Activities promoting your well-being

The service centres provide you with opportunities for activities and participation. In addition, you will receive information on services for the elderly as well as advice and information to promote your health.
