Customer guidance for the elderly

Customer assistance and service coordination for the elderly is a free service intended for the elderly and their relatives. The goal of the service is to provide support to the elderly living independently and to find solutions to ensure that they can enjoy a smooth everyday life.

Customer assistance and service coordination for the elderly offers advice and guidance on services for the elderly provided by the wellbeing services county, private service providers, third sector, volunteers, and the church.

The service coordinator will create an individual service plan together with each client, setting out the services that best match the client’s life situation. If necessary, the service coordinator will make a service needs assessment of the client’s situation based on a home visit.

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.
