Improving senior care and support in Stockholm

The Municipal Council's Pensioner's Council (KPR) discussed the quality and development of elderly care in meetings held in January and February. Among other things, results from interviews with seniors and their relatives about what is important in care and support, such as security and knowledgeable staff, were presented. The council also raised issues concerning documentation of support talks for relatives, shortcomings in the food strategy, how the city should handle sexual assaults within home care, and the importance of pensioner's councils being involved in decision-making processes concerning seniors. The pensioner's councils are also planning a joint politician's Q&A session before the 2026 election to highlight issues relevant to seniors in the City of Stockholm.
