Dear Julie Lord,

Hope this email finds you well.

The 290 municipalities in Sweden are responsible for social services, including care of elderly.
Sweden has a long tradition of self government. That means that the municipalities have wide-ranging responsibilities and largely finance themselves by means of local and county council taxes and the fees paid by the citizens for various services ( for example home help service and special housings). For further information in this matter I would recommend you to contact The Swedish Association of Local Authorities and Regions:
