Dagaktivitetstilbud til hjemmeboende med demens

The day activity services for home-dwelling individuals with dementia are tailored to the user’s needs and abilities, aiming to provide positive experiences and meaningful daily activities. At the same time, you as a caregiver will receive necessary relief.

Examples of activities that may be offered include:

• Walking or cycling trips
• Exercise, dance, singing, and music
• Reading and poetry groups
• Cultural experiences
• Handicrafts
• Outdoor activities

• Individuals with dementia who live at home.
• Individuals with dementia who have short-term stays in an institution.
• Relatives of individuals with dementia who either live at home or have short-term stays.

The municipality may charge a co-payment for the service.

If the day activity service is primarily intended to provide relief for you as a caregiver, the service is free of charge.

You must submit an application to the municipality. The municipality will then make a decision based on an individual assessment of the user’s needs and preferences.

The municipality must process the case as soon as possible. If the case cannot be resolved within one month, you will receive written notification explaining the reason for the delay and an estimated timeframe for the decision.

If you are dissatisfied with the decision, you can appeal to the municipality within three weeks of receiving it. Explain what you disagree with and why you believe the decision should be changed. If you need guidance, you can contact the municipality. If the municipality upholds its decision, the case will be forwarded to the County Governor, who will determine whether the appeal should be upheld.

You can also appeal to the County Governor in your region regarding inadequate service delivery, insufficient or incorrect information, or breaches of confidentiality.

If a serious incident occurs in connection with the service, you as a relative or patient can report it directly to the Norwegian Board of Health Supervision at +47 474 86 882.
