In a multi-year research project, the Lund School of Social Work aims to increase knowledge about home care service use. Interviews, observations, and diary notes are collected and analyzed in collaboration with home care users themselves, in order to highlight individuals’ personal experience of living with home care.

The Home Care, Welfare, Everyday Life project began with a small pilot study in 2021. As of now, more than 50 interviews and 15 observations during visits to home care users have been conducted, and the time has come to share the messages that the interviewees convey and the analyses that we as researchers make.

We address everyone interested in how home care users manage their everyday lives and what it is like to live with home care interventions. The public, media, decision-makers, stakeholders, activists, and especially home care users are welcome to participate.

This presentation is twofold:

• A popular version in Swedish language, directed to anyone with an interest in home care users’ experience, at Room R148, Gamla kirurgen, 10AM-noon.
• An academic version in English, primarily directed to people with a scholarly related orientation towards home care use, at Room Sh208, School of Social Work, 1PM-3PM.
