The study visit between June and July 2012 included observation on rules regarding care for elderly people in Herrljunga commune (Swedish: Herrljunga komun). In Sweden, similar to other countries, the percentage of elderly people – those above 65 years old - is systematically growing. Care for elderly people is organized by authorities of the communes (komun). Health visitors are subjects to local government supervision Their main task is to develop rules and procedures for geriatric care. A patient’s health state indicates the commitment of staff, whether it should be a single visit, day care or 24/7 care.
