Home care is the term for a collection of services granted by social services according to Chapter 4, Article 1 of the Social Services Act (SoL). These may be:

  • non-personal services, such as cleaning or shopping or
  • personal care, such as hygiene or help at mealtimes.

Certain other types of service that do not entail significant contact with the eligible person (for example social care alarms, delivery of meals, collecting and delivering laundry, etc.) are not subject to authorisation.
