When the corona crisis broke out, it quickly became clear that the care would be tough - partly if the staff would start to get sick and partly if the residents would pay the same fate.

Krokom Municipality was quickly out and focused on those who were laid off from the hotels and even the restaurants. So-called speed dating was arranged and that road was recruited 100 people who had to jump in as substitutes.

Reverse relationship for the summer vacation

When it is approaching summer, it is traditionally difficult to assemble substitutes for home service, elderly housing and LSS housing. But 300 people have reported their interest.

- 200 substitutes is the ideal. Then half of the permanent staff can go on vacation at the same time, says social director Anna Berkestedt Jonsson.

So from a feared shortage the situation has now turned to a surplus of interested.

What are the possibilities for the temporary staff to continue this fall?

- They look good. The corona crisis has led to a shortage of caregivers, practically all over the country, says Anna Berkestedt Jonsson.
