Background and legislation

Elderly people are offered guidance and counselling in the use of health care and social welfare services. The counsellors explain what services are available for elderly people at home and what services can be obtained outside the home. They provide guidance in applying for services and explain what the preconditions are for accessing them. If necessary, counselling on how one can apply for and combine different forms of financial support is also available.

Elderly people can receive counselling e.g. by phone or by visiting a service point. The service counsellors are permitted to make service-related decisions.
