Family Caregiver Consultant, Prevention Unit, Elderly Care Services

Many adults in Sweden care for, help, or support a close relative at some point in their lives who is chronically ill, elderly, or has a disability. When this occurs regularly, more than once a month, it is referred to as family caregiving or family care. The Prevention Unit offers and provides support to family caregivers for their own wellbeing. The goal is to improve quality of life, reduce the burden on caregivers, and minimize the risk of caregivers experiencing health problems themselves.
