If necessary, we can support your coping by arranging discretionary care for your care recipient in a service housing unit.
Such care can involve intensive 24-hour care or care where staff are not present at night.
We can also support your coping by offering your care recipient day activities.
Discretionary short-term care is applied for with the disability service application, which is delivered to a service point in your area of residence. Together with the care recipient and a social worker, you will assess the need for short-term care.
