Tiivistelmä
Aging population and increasing number of immigrants are two prominent phenomena in the changing society today. The growing need for social services is general and pervasive. Concerning social services, people want to have their own choice and are also ready to use their own funds. A private social services company formed by a foreigner may be an effective way and a solution to the needs of more multicultural population.
The purpose of the study was to describe and evaluate the process of establishing a private social services company, named Hervannan Hyvinvointipalvelut.
Action learning was used in the study, and the classic four cyclic steps were followed in the whole study procedure. In the planning phase a preliminary business plan was made. The action phase included five steps of service procedure. The observation phase took place in monitoring outcomes from the service practition. The reflection phase was discussed in SWOT analysis on Hervannan Hyvinvointipalvelut.
Based on the learning from establishing Hervannan Hyvinvointipalvelut in order to give support for individual living at home, the result was favourable and beneficial for private households, public sector and third sector organizations. Evidence showed a private social services company can be very flexible in cooperation and\or collaboration with other service providers in the provision of welfare society. For an immigrant to become an entrepreneur is a way of employment. But there are no doubt challenges, such as, language and local enterprise environment.
