As the years passed, Schjerfbeck travelled less.
When a family matter arose, such as a death, she would travel back to her home city of Helsinki and she spent most of 1920 in Ekenäs, but by 1921 she was back living in Hyvinkää.

For about a year, Schjerfbeck moved to a farm in Tenala to get away from the Winter War, but went back to Ekenäs in the middle of 1940.
She later moved into a nursing home, where she resided for less than a year before moving to the Luontola sanatorium.
In 1944 she moved into the Saltsjöbaden spa hotel in Sweden, where she continued to paint actively even during her last years; e.g. the series of self-portraits.

She died on January 23, 1946 and was buried at the Hietaniemi Cemetery in Helsinki.
