Private care for the elderly brings peace of mind and companionship to everyday life
Unfortunately, public elder care services cannot always provide the necessary extra care and attention. Furthermore, as a family member, you do not always have the resources to be available around the clock.
Our nurses are attentive and dedicated, and can step in when you, as a family member, need a break. Self-determination and compassionate care in a safe environment are core values in our approach to respite care.
We offer a wide range of professional nursing support services, including daily care, medication management, wound care, accompaniment, and treatment coordination—all based on professional nursing judgment and always with the patient’s well-being at the center.
What is private respite care?
Private respite care is about providing the support needed to help you stay in your own home and maintain your quality of life—whether that need arises due to aging, illness, or following surgery. As you age or after surgery, everyday tasks such as personal care, medication management, and household chores can become a challenge, and that’s where we step in.
At Private Health, we offer professional assistance tailored to each individual’s needs. Our experienced nurses ensure that your loved ones receive the care and support they need to maintain a dignified and independent lifestyle.
We are a trusted provider of private respite care
In our view, private respite care is about more than just handling practical tasks. We believe that genuine presence, professional competence, and mutual respect are the foundation of a positive experience, and our goal is to give you or your loved one the opportunity to live an independent and dignified life in safe, familiar surroundings. As a trusted healthcare provider, we offer, among other things:
Dedicated point of contact, dedicated nurses
You will be assigned a dedicated point of contact as well as a hand-picked team of nurses.
24/7 on-call phone – round-the-clock availability
You can reach us 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. This provides peace of mind and security,
Private respite care with a focus on aesthetics and spiritual care
We coordinate your care and treatment, ensuring continuity and security throughout.
Relief for caregivers
Being a caregiver to an elderly person who needs extra care can be a big task. For many caregivers, balancing their own lives with the needs of the elderly person can be a challenge.
Private respite care gives caregivers a much-needed break, giving them the time and energy to take care of their own needs and responsibilities.
When you as a caregiver are able to take a step back, you can better be there for your loved one in a way that doesn't drain you physically or emotionally. Respite care through private duty nursing is therefore not only about the direct care of the elderly, but also about giving caregivers a chance to recharge and find peace in everyday life.
And once the practical tasks are in good hands, something important happens: you’re free to be there for your loved one in the way that matters most. Not as a coordinator or caregiver—but as a son, daughter, spouse, or friend. That time together, free from stress and chores, is often the most precious of all.

Brochure about us
Why choose private respite care?
Private home care offers a number of benefits that the municipal system often cannot provide. At Private Health, you are always cared for by a designated contact person and a dedicated team of nurses who get to know your daily routines and needs. This creates a sense of security and continuity that is invaluable to both the client and their family.
We take care of everything from medication management and personal care to companionship and activities that can stimulate and bring joy.
Below, you can read more about how we can help you or your loved one:
Aesthetics and atmosphere as part of the relief
At Private Health, we believe that the environment plays a crucial role in well-being and comfort. That is why our nurses consciously work with the sensory experiences that surround our clients—the sounds, scents, and moods that together create a calm and healing atmosphere in the home.
For some older adults, the ability to create this environment on their own is limited. That’s where we step in to ensure that their daily lives feel dignified, safe, and comfortable.
We call this “working with aesthetics in elder care,” and it is a natural part of every respite care program we offer. All of our staff members are licensed nurses who operate on the basis of a single guiding principle: the individual and their unique needs.
Tailored private respite care for seniors, with a focus on care
At Private Health, we always take a personalized approach. We tailor our care plans to each individual so that both the elderly person and their family members feel seen and heard. This can be crucial to ensuring that the care contributes to a meaningful and fulfilling daily life.
Our core values - calm, compassion, aesthetics and spiritual care - are at the heart of everything we do and form the foundation of our care journey.
We offer a wide range of nursing services, including daily care, medication management, wound care, rehabilitation and more - always with a focus on nursing judgment.
You'll be assigned a permanent team, so you'll always be greeted by familiar faces at every visit.
Practical support, assistance, and coordination in daily life
At Private Health, we offer a wide range of support services designed to ease the daily burdens on both seniors and their families.
We serve as a healthcare coordinator, providing relief to family members in order to create peace of mind and security for the entire family, so that the elderly person can remain in familiar surroundings with dignity and a good quality of life.
Our private nurses can assist with the following, among other things:
- Coordinating appointments with, for example, the hospital, your primary care physician, and a physical therapist
- Accompaniment to doctor's and hospital visits, as well as social activities
- Cooking
- Medicine handling
- Wound care

Subsidies from insurance and pension companies
In special cases, we encourage clients to investigate the possibility of subsidies from Sygesikring Danmark, insurance and pension companies or other related health insurances.
In this connection, Private Health can inform you that in the event of terminal care, Sygesikring Danmark provides an amount of approximately DKK 12,000. In order to receive this benefit, various declarations must be obtained from the doctor/hospital. Private Health is happy to assist in obtaining these. In all cases, we recommend that clients and/or relatives contact the relevant organizations for further information.
What do we offer?
We've received some nice words along the way
Over the past year, Private Health has provided outstanding care for our aging mother with nurses, personal assistants, and physical therapists. With deep professionalism and great human warmth, they have created security and comfort in her everyday life. In addition to all the health care, Private Health also ensures that the home is always kept tidy, that it is aired out, that there are fresh flowers on the table, and that meals are prepared with care and respect for our mother's wishes.
After falling and breaking her elbow earlier this year, they retrained her with determination, so that she is now stronger and more mobile than before. And perhaps even more importantly, they have rekindled her zest for life. Our mother now enjoys going for walks, visiting museums, and meeting up with friends—always with Private Health as her loving support.
My siblings and I are not always able to be there for our mother. That's why it's wonderful to know that we can always count on the dedicated, professional, and caring staff at Private Health—a company with a lot of warmth and soul—thank you!
Family in Rudersdal
We have been using Private Health for more than 8 months with great pleasure and satisfaction.
We have nothing but praise for the care, professionalism, and tireless problem-solving we have encountered throughout this period.
Regardless of the duration and content of the assignment, Private Health has accommodated our requests—even during the many urgent needs we have had during this period.
Every time, we have received prompt responses, suggested solutions, and kind and patient colleagues who have been very supportive of our sick mother and our challenged father.
We highly recommend Private Health—they have been the main reason why we, as relatives, have been able to get through a very difficult period.
Family in Hørsholm
I sought home care for my father during a vacation in Mols. Private Health found a local home caregiver within a few days who provided care for my father. Very professional and highly efficient service. They went to great lengths to find a solution for us in an area they do not normally serve. A pleasure and highly recommended.
Relatives in Frederiksberg
Private Health helped me with my rehabilitation, and it made a huge difference. I was met with care, calmness, and professionalism—and I felt truly seen. Thank you for your support; it meant more than you can imagine.
Client in Rudersdal
Dear Private Health and the entire team,
Thank you so much for stepping in during an acute and very critical situation for my mother and our entire family. Your professionalism and care was fantastic and very competent.
Highest recommendations from here.
Frederik
When our father became terminally ill, he wanted to spend his last days at home and we struggled to get public assistance, but ran into long waiting times and summer vacation.
Private Health and the entire team were our salvation! In just a few days they set up absolutely amazing help and support with visits and care every day and were incredibly flexible in quickly adapting care as the disease progressed.
Thanks to Private Health and the amazing and highly professional nurses, our father got the end of life he wanted.
Family in Nærum
After the death of our father, it was difficult for our mother to be on her own a lot and we couldn't cover visiting her every day ourselves. Therefore, it was a great support that Private Health was able to help with 2-3 weekly visits to our mother for a few months at very short notice.
Pleasant visits, chatting and short walks gradually helped her through the first difficult time".
Daughter, Louise
Social support and companionship – more than just care
Private care for the elderly involves much more than just practical tasks and medication management. For many older adults, loneliness and a lack of social interaction are among the greatest challenges of daily life. And this is precisely where our private nurses make a difference that goes far beyond the purely professional.
At Private Health, we see the whole person. Our nurses aren’t just professionals; they’re caring individuals who take the time for a meaningful conversation, a quiet cup of coffee, and a short walk to lift your spirits. It’s the kind of personal attention that municipal care rarely has time for, but which we know makes a huge difference to mental health and quality of life.
