A large majority in Parliament has decided to reform the elderly care system and invest one billion DKK extra. The main idea behind the changes is that the elderly should be met by familiar faces every time they receive care, (this means fewer temporary (vikar) workers and more full-time employees).
- The reform is based on three core values: more free choice for the elderly, higher trust between the employees and the elderly and closer interaction with the local community.
- As a result of the reform, employees within the system will have less administration work (reduced to an absolute minimum) and more time with the elderly – time which can be co-planned for holistic care.
