Home care is a collective term for various forms of care, support, service, and security that we provide in the user's home. Home care performs the interventions that the assistance officer has assessed that the user needs. What should be performed for the user during each visit is on a schedule in your work phone. Six groups work in Vimmerby, and four groups work in the outskirts.
