♦ Social relationships and life harmony ♦
Clients of health and social services interact with other people from their homes and get new friends from their peers. The sense of togetherness and belonging to a group reduces the sense of loneliness and improves sense of security.
♦ Cost-efficiency ♦
Service provider organizations spend less resources, time and money on traveling. Clients can live longer at their homes and avoid placement in institutions.
♦ Peace of mind ♦
Family and friends, who live far away can see, talk with and take care of their loved ones, and they can trust that they or the service professionals, will notice if something is happening to their loved ones.
