The night patrol operates from Nyby home care, Svartbäcken home care, and Sävja home care, where we prepare to visit various home care units. After taking reports and reading documentation, we go to the different units to collect keys, then we visit our clients who have scheduled night visits. The night patrol also receives emergency alarms from all over Uppsala Municipality at night. Our working hours are between 21:35 and 07:15.
