What is the procedure for registration of care for an elderly person?

You need to contact the guardianship authority at your place of residence and provide the following list of documents:

• a statement that you want to provide permanent care for a certain person;

• Your passport (original and copy);

• passport of the person who will be cared for;

• medical certificate about the caregiver's health;

• certificate of registration of your place of residence;

• documents regarding ownership of property or the right to use it;

• a certificate from the medical commission (MSEK), which confirms that the person needs constant care due to his health condition.

If we are talking about a person with legal capacity who can be aware of his actions, but needs care due to his health condition, his mandatory consent is required. Therefore, when it comes to a pensioner, he must also write a statement to appoint a person who will provide him with constant care.
