Informal care
Informal care substitute for the elderly, the disabled and the sick
Informal care refers to arranging the care of an elderly, disabled, or ill person in a home setting with the help of a relative or other close individual (family caregiver).
For the family caregiver’s well-being, it is crucial that they have the opportunity to take regular days off. Generally, a family caregiver is entitled to 2-3 days off per month.
At Elämän assistentti, we provide safe care during these breaks and holidays. With a reliable substitute, the family caregiver can relax and focus on their own time, rest, and recreation without worry.
Elämän assistentti offers informal care support at home for the elderly, disabled, and ill in Helsinki, Espoo, Vantaa, and Kerava.

SUPPORT FOR FAMILY CAREGIVERS
How is substitute informal care paid??
With us, you can pay for the service either yourself or using a service voucher issued by the municipality. The initial consultation visit is free of charge for the customer.
The family caregiver can determine the content of the service purchased with the service voucher. The service may include, for example, caring for and assisting the family caregiver, grocery shopping, cooking, doing laundry, and cleaning.
However, the more detailed content of the service is always tailored to the customer’s needs on a case-by-case basis, in collaboration with the service subscriber. A service plan is created with the customer, outlining the need, scope, and duration of the service.
