Homes for certain other in-patient care 'short-term housing' (SoL)

Short-term housing is temporary housing for example for elderly or psychologically impaired people, which provides an opportunity for respite for family members or rehabilitation for the individual.

How to apply

Send your application to the Health and Social Care Inspectorate, see link. 

Short-term housing may also be granted while waiting to move home after receiving health care, or to other, adapted housing. Short-term housing should offer a private room with a toilet and shower.

There must be a supervisor for the activity, who is responsible for the daily work and for ensuring that the service is of high quality and provides good care.
