Attendo AB is one of the largest private health and social care providers in the Nordic region, operating approximately 800 facilities with over 33,000 employees across Finland, Sweden, and Denmark. The company's business model is centered on providing high-quality, labor-intensive care services, acting as a partner to local municipalities and regions that fund the majority of these services.
Attendo's operations are divided into two main business areas: Attendo Finland and Attendo Scandinavia (Sweden and Denmark). Finland is the largest market, generating the majority of the group's revenue, followed by Sweden. The company's service offerings are primarily focused on care for older people, which accounts for approximately 70% of total sales and includes both nursing homes and home care services. The remaining revenue is derived from care for people with disabilities (such as LSS housing in Sweden) and individual and family care, which includes supportive housing, crisis homes, and dependency care.
The company operates predominantly through its own facilities, with a small and decreasing portion of its business coming from outsourced operations managed on behalf of public clients. Attendo's competitive position is built on its scale, specialized competence, and ability to add capacity to the Nordic welfare system, helping society address the growing demographic challenge of an aging population. By investing in new facilities, digitalization, and method development, Attendo aims to deliver cost-effective and high-quality care solutions compared to public alternatives.
