Formal Providers of Eldercare in Norway

  • Chapter
Eldercare Policies in Japan and Scandinavia

Abstract

Formally speaking, there is no such thing as eldercare in Norway. The eldercare services provided by the municipalities are legally and organizationally part of the general health- and social services available to all in need of these services, regardless of age, gender, diagnosis, wealth, place of residence, or other criteria. Facing the “Aging Society” such a universal and solidarity perspective is of great importance, both to ensure that the elderly have equal access to health- and social services as the rest of the population does, and to secure support for the welfare programs across all generations.
