Care Work Collocations
The fixed pairings in a Swedish care plan and daily documentation.
The care trade's paper-and-equipment vocabulary, system by system: the decision chain (biståndsbedömning → beslut → beviljade timmar → genomförandeplan), the documentation duties including lex Sarah and lex Maria, the daily-care compounds (munvård, vändschema, fallriskbedömning), the equipment room (rollator, lyftsele), the team around the brukare, the housing ladder from hemtjänst to demensavdelning — ending at värdighetsgaranti and the national values framework.
