Hjemmestøttede

Hjemmestøttede is a Danish term that translates to "home-supported" or "supported at home." It refers to a model of care or assistance provided to individuals in their own homes rather than in institutional settings. This can encompass a wide range of services, including personal care, domestic help, nursing care, and social support. The concept emphasizes enabling individuals to live independently in a familiar environment for as long as possible, promoting well-being and quality of life.

The provision of hjemmestøttede services can be managed by various entities. Municipalities often play a significant role, offering publicly funded support to eligible residents. Private care providers also operate within this sector, offering specialized services tailored to individual needs. The specific services available and the eligibility criteria can vary depending on the municipality and the individual's circumstances, such as age, health status, and functional ability.

Hjemmestøttede services are designed to address the needs of diverse populations, including the elderly, individuals with disabilities, and those recovering from illness or surgery. The goal is to provide the necessary support to maintain independence, safety, and social connection within the home environment. This approach is often seen as a more person-centered alternative to residential care, allowing individuals to retain control over their daily lives and living arrangements.
