Home care is for everyone: young and old, families with or without children, the elderly and all caregivers

Elderly care

Elderly care is provided to support the senior citizen in problem situations such as temporary support if he/she is ill and cannot temporarily run the household independently. By using elderly care you can be relieved of the heavier household chores if you are an elderly person. Elderly care is also provided to an older person when he/she needs to institutionalized in an nursing home or in case of other social problems. But our main goal remains that everyone should live at home as long as possible. We offer the following services:

  • Cooking
  • Washing and ironing clothes
  • Light housekeeping

 

In order to qualify for elderly care, you are required to submit a number of documents. For more information about the care request, please refer to our page about the Care Central.
