Perhaps the awakening comes when you, as a customer in home care or other elderly care, start thinking about your rights, the quality of the services, and the proportions between the help you receive and what you pay.
What have you given to Sweden during your long life?
And what do you get back?As background – read my column (in Swedish) about what I call “home-o-service” here.
Links to all my columns on elderly care can be found here.
Conditions and rights in elderly care are not the same for everyone, if you thought they were. Certain groups have rights and benefits that differ from – and in many cases are far more favorable than – the conditions and rights you have as an ordinary native Swede.
The most common serious violent crime against women over 60 is rape
The intense debate that is now underway about elderly care – at least on social media – has rather belatedly gotten started since Anders Östlund, criminologist in Police Region Central, presented a study of rapes in elderly care.
The most common serious violent crime against women over 60 is rape – something that greatly surprised Anders Östlund. Women in their 80s to 100s are subjected to sexual violence in their own homes by male home care employees.

Anders Östlund’s surprise is an interesting measure of the obliviousness that has for far too long characterized the view of the enormous differences in culture and view of humanity, compared to Swedish counterparts, which have become frighteningly clear with the mass immigration of primarily young men from dysfunctional Muslim countries in the Middle East and Africa.
In 2015, around 36 000 so-called “unaccompanied children” arrived in Sweden – in reality men of military age who had thrown away their ID documents and lied about their age. It is largely these men whom we now allow to care for our oldest and most fragile citizens.
