Nursing homes for you and your loved ones

Nursing homes for you and your loved ones

At PFA, you have a wide range of benefits. One of them is priority access to housing that suits your stage of life, and now you can also register for a place at a private sector nursing home. But it goes further than that, as you can pass on the priority access to your immediate family.

A home with extra opportunities

A private sector nursing home is a privately owned nursing home. The care provided at the facility is subject to the same regulations as municipal nursing homes, and here too, allocation of a place requires approval from the municipality.
 
You are free to choose a private sector nursing home anywhere in Denmark. This freedom of choice allows you, for example, to select a specific type of care, high quality and a place that shows great care for its residents. There may also be a desire to live in green and inspiring surroundings or to be close to family and friends.

Freedom of choice is precisely what defines a private sector nursing home, as, in addition to selecting the address and location, you can purchase services that add extra value to daily life. This could include assistance with practical tasks, companionship, pet care, wellness services, catering for family gatherings and much more. The various options differ from place and are constantly expanding. As a PFA customer, you can purchase services at a particular favourable price.

It costs the same to live in a private sector nursing home as in a comparable municipal nursing home, so only optional extras will cause additional costs.

Questions and answers – everything you want to know

PFA’s private sector nursing homes in general

What is a private sector nursing home?

Private sector nursing homes provide the same services as municipal nursing homes, meaning comprehensive nursing and care in daily life. 

Private sector nursing homes are also subject to the same legislation, the Danish Social Service Law and the Danish Health Act, which ensures a common foundation for the delivery of nursing and care. The primary difference is that private sector nursing homes are privately owned, meaning the daily operations and development of the nursing homes are managed by the owner or operator. 

This provides greater flexibility than municipal nursing homes, as private sector nursing homes can offer services that are beyond the service level set by the municipality. Just like at municipal nursing homes, the residents pay rent for the accommodation, while the municipality covers the costs for nursing and care.

What does it cost to live at a private sector nursing home compared to a municipal nursing home? 

As resident at a private sector nursing home, you do not pay for the daily nursing and care. As with all other municipal or private sector nursing homes, you are required to pay rent as well as your own utility expenses (electricity, water and heating). The rent varies from nursing home to nursing home, depending on where in the country the private sector nursing home is located. The rent always reflects the local rental level.
  
In addition, there are a number of compulsory services, such as meals, an entertainment and activity fund, cleaning supplies/toilet paper/window cleaning and home contents insurance. You will be informed about these details well in advance of potentially accepting a place at a private sector nursing home.

What additional services will the residents have access to?

As a resident at one of PFA’s private sector nursing homes, you will have access to a range of additional services that are specific to each individual nursing home.
  
Services might include:
- Wellness offers
- Accompaniment
- Pet care
- Purchase of meals for family gatherings
- Assistance with practical tasks

At OK-Fonden’s website you can read more about each private sector nursing home.. Read more about OK-Fonden's private sector nursing homes here  

What is a voucher, and what can it be used for?

At PFA’s private sector nursing homes, residents can purchase a range of additional services, which can, among other things, be bought using a voucher system. One voucher can be exchanged for 30 minutes of service. As a PFA customer, you get a 10 % discount when you purchase vouchers. This means that when you purchase 10 vouchers, you get 11.
  
You will learn more about the voucher system when you move into the private sector nursing home.

Applying for a tenancy at a PFA private sector nursing home

Who can apply for a tenancy at one of PFA’s private sector nursing homes?

If you have been allocated a place at a nursing home, you can freely choose between all municipal nursing homes and private sector nursing homes in your own municipality and others. This means that you can move into a private sector nursing home if your municipality of residence has found you eligible for a place at a nursing home. 

If the private sector nursing home is located in a different municipality from where you currently live, the new municipality where the private sector nursing home is located does not need to approve you. It is sufficient that your current municipality has allocated you a place at a nursing home. 

PFA’s customers have priority access to the private sector nursing homes that are part of the collaboration with OK-Fonden.

What does it mean to be “allocated” a place at a nursing home? 

If you have been allocated a place at a nursing home, it means that you have been approved to move into a nursing home. You can use this approval to apply for a tenancy at a nursing home in the location where you want to live.
  
You can read more about what is required to be allocated a place on borger.dk.
