  • This article aims to explore how community home care of older people is provided and organized at night. In times of welfare decline, organizational changes, and an increasing aged population, questions arise about home care and support for older people. In Sweden as in many other western countries ‘ageing in place’ is a guiding principle in care provision for older people, which put increasing pressure on home care services. Still, night-time care represents a research gap within health and social care research, nationally and internationally. This telephone interview survey examines 41 operations managers’ perceptions of organization and care provision and how they account for the goals and work of home care at night-time in a selection of 37 Swedish municipalities. The analysis was inspired by thematic content analysis where three central themes were categorized: organizational context of night-time care, working conditions, and challenges of night-time care. Our results reveal that organizational context varied depending on the demography and size of the municipality. The work situation was characterizeded by constantly unforeseen events to manage. Multiple challenges were identified on societal and political levels, as were limited resources and recruitment problems. In conclusion, our analysis has identified unpredictability as a core feature of night-time care work. The complexity of the provision of night-time care was not recognized as important for the municipal organization. To provide high quality care at night in ordinary housing, there is a need to both focus on organizational aspects and to have sufficient resources and time.
