Services

Elderly people who need regular care in order to be able to stay as long as possible in their own home can apply for day care for the elderly. There an elderly person will receive appropriate service and treatment. Day care is also called day-long stay.

Attempts are being made to allow the elderly to live as normal a domestic life as possible for as long as possible by offering them all kinds of support and services. On the one hand, this is a social domestic service and, on the other hand, it is home nursing.

Elderly citizens can attend the social activities and recreational activities in the service centres or in the community centres for the elderly that operate in most local communities in Iceland.
