Elderly Care in the Municipality of Umeå aims to be a resource that, through proximity and collaboration, empowers and strengthens people’s ability to live independently.

Anyone over the age of 18 who cannot get to a health center on their own or with assistance may be eligible to receive health care and rehabilitation/habilitation in their own home. Home Health Care is responsible for home nursing care, home visits, rehabilitation, habilitation, and assistive devices in ordinary housing, including prescriptions and certifications for home modifications. This service is available 24 hours a day for individuals over the age of 18 who live in their own homes.

Our goal is to strengthen each individual’s ability to live an independent life and to provide good, safe, high-quality care. The work is based on a health-promoting and rehabilitative approach, with a focus on participation, coordination, and a clear division of responsibilities.
