Elderly residents

The goal of elder care in Kramfors Municipality is to provide our older residents with the opportunity to live their lives as safely and independently as possible. This means that, whenever possible, our older residents should be able to continue living in their own homes while receiving the support and care they need.

The National Board of Health and Welfare – Äldreguiden

(online guide about housing and services available to the elderly)

The National Board of Health and Welfare’s guide for the elderly allows you to find and compare retirement homes, short-term accommodation, home help services and daily activity. You can also compare different housing options and get more information about each facility.

How do I apply for help at home or other care for the elderly?

Start by contacting an aid administrator at 0612-800 00 and they will evaluate what kind of assistance is available to you.

If you would prefer to apply online, you can go to Kramfors Municipality’s self-service. External link.
