Care company Samsteget barred from operating sheltered housing over forged documents

The Swedish Health and Care Inspectorate (Ivo) has barred the care company Samsteget from operating sheltered housing.

The reason is that the company is suspected of forging signatures in connection with a procurement, reports P4 Östergötland.

We do not believe they are suitable to run the business and cannot be considered a serious actor, says Frida Tamker, unit manager at Ivo.

In the investigation and in communications with the company, we found that they had falsified documents and had also admitted that they did so.

The police investigation into the case has recently been closed, but Ivo is still preventing the company from operating sheltered accommodation.

Samsteget, which has operated in around 30 municipalities in recent years, has appealed. Its other operations are currently not affected by Ivo's decision.
