Long-term round-the-clock service housing for older people
We arrange institutional care in cases where the elderly cannot get the care they need at home or in sheltered housing.
24-hour sheltered housing may provide a solution in a situation where you need care and attention 24 hours a day.
Long-term sheltered housing is offered in housing units listed in the Nursing home portal of Western Uusimaa. Western Uusimaa has care homes provided by the wellbeing services county and private service providers. They all follow the same principles regarding the content and quality of the service.
You will live in the room you rented with an electric adjustable bed, mattress, wardrobe, a lockable storage unit and a ceiling-mounted light. Clothing and laundry care, excluding textiles requiring special washing, is included in the service.
The service includes a daily breakfast, lunch, afternoon coffee, dinner and evening snack and, if necessary, a night-time snack. The catering service includes special diets and nutritional supplements prescribed by a physician.
The housing unit has staff available 24 hours a day to provide you with the help you need.
The staff takes care of your medication and ensures that you receive the health care and medical care you need. Care homes also have a physician in charge.
At the housing unit, you get to live safely and according to your personal wishes and habits. If you wish, you can participate in outdoor activities, physical activity and cultural events.
This service is subject to a fee. The fee is based on your income or the combined income of you and your spouse. You are responsible for your medication costs.
The state pays the client fees of front-line veterans and disabled veterans who fought in Finland's wars. The veterans pay for the share of the rent.
If you or your loved one needs 24-hour sheltered housing, contact Senior Info.
