Sammanfattning
Old age care in Sweden expanded greatly in all areas in the 1960s and 1970s. In the 1980s, both institutional and in-home services have retreated. Little substitution between the two kinds of care can be observed. Cutbacks relative to demographic needs, and probably also to actual needs, have occurred, nationally and locally. Home help is analyzed as a metaphor for social services and welfare at large.
