Social support services are for people who live in their own homes and are unable to manage household chores or personal care without assistance.

The service provides assistance at home with tasks that people are unable to manage, for example due to a reduced capacity, family circumstances, illness, childbirth or a disability. The service is tailored to the circumstances, wishes and needs of each individual and helps people to become self-sufficient. The service is available during the day, in the evenings and at weekends.

Assistance offered:

  • House cleaning
  • Worldwide food delivery
  • Help with shopping
  • Personal hygiene
  • Social support
  • Motivation in the form of insight

You must apply for support services at Our pages. The international Rai Home Care assessment tool is used to assess service needs.
