Attendees learned about crime prevention tips, fall prevention, and digital aids in elderly care.
Nyby service house in Uppsala hosted a user meeting on Tuesday, welcoming around 50 home care users from the nearby areas of Nyby, Gränby, and Gamla Uppsala. Managers Yvan Bugabo and Eva Kreuzer, in their positions for one year, have focused on building structure, clear routines, and greater presence in operations. The event aimed to inform about ongoing changes, such as digital monitoring, medicine dispensers, and digital purchases, while fostering participation through direct conversations.
Yvan Bugabo highlighted the need to communicate updates: “It feels important to invite and tell more about the operations. There are many changes underway, like digital supervision, medicine automats, and digital purchases. Then we need to inform and create security around how care develops.”
The program featured information from the Crime Victim Support about common crimes against the elderly and protection advice. Rehab then presented home fall prevention methods. An overview of welfare technology explained how digital solutions support care. Breaks included time for coffee and informal talks.
Area manager Erika Norlander Ekberg moderated the event and called it a success: “It was so nice to participate and meet users. Many expressed satisfaction with the various lectures and the good coffee.” The meeting emphasized the municipality's commitment to improving home care quality through open dialogue.
