The service provider will try to ensure that, for example, someone is available to support people with memory problems who live alone in the event of a power cut.
Päijät-Häme Home Care is prepared to take care of the elderly who need help the most during power cuts. The grid operator Fingrid has warned that next winter there may be a risk of rotating power cuts if there is a shortage of energy.
If there are power cuts, the home care management will try to organise work so that, for example, clients with memory problems who live alone can be accompanied by a member of staff. Planning is made easier by the fact that rotating power cuts are likely to be known in advance.
According to Olkkonen-Nikula, there may still be some need to call on the help of people close to the customer if there are frequent interruptions.
