| Research Abstract |
Denmark and Sweden have introduced a system, which enable private providers, as well as public providers, to deliver long-term home care. This system necessitates clarifying of the service standards, and standardization measures play a major role in this aspect. However, it is desirable to give thoughtful attention to flexibility and individuality of care. Top-down regulations and control and lack of flexibility and discretion have made it more difficult for the care workers to do "emotional labor" in the delivery of home care.
