Home care supports living at home

Home care helps you with daily activities such as getting out of bed, going to the toilet, bathing, dressing and eating. We also help with administering medication.

We monitor your health on home visits. Home care can also include nursing services when ordered by a doctor if you cannot use other healthcare and nursing services.

We can arrange regular home care on a daily basis, even at night. Part of home care is remote care, where we will contact you by phone or using a tablet. Remote connection allows us to check on you and remind you of important things.

Your day-to-day care will be provided by practical nurses, public health nurses and registered nurses. Your well-being will also be taken care of by home care assistants, domestic helpers, physiotherapists and occupational therapists. You can also receive support services that complement your personal care, such as meal services.

We will prepare an individual care and service plan for you. Home care can also be temporary, for example when recovering from an illness.

Home care and its support services are subject to a fee. You can receive home care as a service provided by the City or as an outsourced service, in which case we have purchased the service from a private company. Alternatively, we can provide you with a service voucher, allowing you to purchase the service yourself from companies we have approved.
