Customer choice in home care services - LOV
As of December 1, 2012, the municipality of Härnösand applies customer choice in home care under the Act on Freedom of Choice Systems, LOV.
For those who have been granted home care services, this means that you can choose who will provide the services - the municipality's home care services or a private home care provider.
You pay the same fee regardless of whether you choose the municipality's home care service or a private home care provider.
The providers you can choose from are approved by the municipality. To be approved, home care providers must meet the requirements set by the municipality.
You choose the home care provider that you think meets your requirements and wishes. Choosing is an option but not a requirement. If you don't want to choose, you don't have to. You will always receive the help you are entitled to.
You can change providers if you want, when you want and how many times you want. You do not have to tell the municipality or the home care service provider you no longer want why you want to change provider.
