New rules for care services for people in need

The act changes how care services are granted to elderly, sick and disabled people. It introduces clearer criteria for who can receive help and who can provide it. Lonely people now have priority, and municipalities will better monitor service quality.
Key points
Lonely people without family support now have a right to care services – not just a possibility of receiving them.
New form of help: neighborly services provided by people from the immediate vicinity.
Caregivers must complete first aid training and submit a declaration of physical and mental fitness.
Municipalities will monitor and evaluate the quality of care services, and take corrective action when irregularities are found.
Current caregivers have time to meet new requirements: one month for the declaration and 3 months for training.
