In the area of disabilities, measures are implemented according to LSS, the Act on Support and Service for Certain Disabled Persons, and the Social Services Act (SoL) aimed at people with various disabilities. The measures are designed to strengthen the individual's ability to actively participate in community life and live and reside under secure conditions, with respect for self-determination and integrity. Group homes/support housing, daily activities, short-term accommodation, and various relief forms are some of the support functions. All instances in the chain contribute to qualitative and secure support for people with disabilities.

Within sector social services, optimized staffing is practiced, meaning that one will be able to work in more units than where one is currently placed.
