Home care
Home care services staff provide the support and nursing that enables disabled people and those experiencing illness to remain in their own homes for as long as they wish.
Residential care
Home nursing is for people who need healthcare at home. It includes healthcare and monitoring by nurses or practical nurses and is provided in close cooperation with service users and emergency contacts. Staff at healthcare centers or hospitals assess the need for home nursing and send a service request through SAGA.
Home support
Home support is available to Reykjavík residents 18 and older who live independently and need assistance due to disability, family circumstances, stress, or illness. Home support includes help with daily activities, such as dressing, personal hygiene, eating and using technology for household tasks and medication management. It also includes social support, such as through virtual visits.
Home-based rehabilitation
People may need help regaining and maintaining engagement, health and quality of life. Through home-based rehabilitation, people receive training and counseling to suit their needs. Most rehabilitation happens in your home or immediate surroundings.
Welfare technology
Reykjavík City emphasizes the testing and implementation of welfare technology in the services provided to city residents with the aim of enabling people to live longer in their own homes with better living conditions, despite aging, disability or illness.
Social support for dementia
People with dementia and their families often need extra support to face a variety of challenges in their daily lives.
Social support due to dementia is intended to relieve the burden of home care for people with dementia and improve the quality of life for them and members of their families.
