Help for relatives

Having an older relative in need of intensive care can be very demanding. Especially if this person is diagnosed with a dementia disease.

Municipalities are in certain situations obligated to offer replacement or respite care to people taking care of a close relative with decreased physical or mental functionality due to ageing.

End-of-life care

Relatives can apply for caregiver allowance from the municipality to take care of a dying relative in their own home.
