The Social Democrats are heading into the election with what they call "a paradigm shift" for elderly care.
At a nursing home in Blackeberg in western Stockholm, party leader Magdalena Andersson (S) is presenting several election promises.
S believes that all elderly people should have a permanent doctor and wants to stop minute-by-minute management within home care.
The party also wants to see a vaccination programme for the elderly.
It is not clear how soon the reforms could become a reality if S wins the election, or what they will cost in total, other than that it involves billions of kronor.
In future budget negotiations, this is something we Social Democrats will prioritise, says Magdalena Andersson
According to her, an important part of the financing is the Social Democrats' election promise that state grants to municipalities will be increased in line with inflation.
"It is the most boring but most important reform of this election campaign, because it would ensure that we secure funding for schools, healthcare and care," she says.
Today, there is a severe shortage of general practitioners and only three out of ten Swedes say that they have a regular doctor.
