Living in institutional care

Persons for whom it is not possible to arrange 24-hour care at home or in sheltered housing may live in institutional care as per a separate decision.

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

You may live in institutional care if the housing support you need cannot be arranged around the clock at home or in sheltered housing. Your service needs will be assessed by identifying your functional ability and state of health as well as other factors related to your need for 24-hour care. The decision on institutional care is made on the basis of your health and safety. Your institutional care includes the necessary care, rehabilitation and medical care, but also meals, medication, medical services, essential dental care, hygiene and care supplies, clothing and laundry. The institutional care also includes transportation when it is part of your care. You have the opportunity to participate in common activities for the residents. Housing is included in your service. You will be living in a pre-furnished room for one or multiple people. The washrooms and toilets may be shared by several residents. You may need to change rooms during your stay. During your stay in institutional care, we will support and promote your well-being, safety and good quality of life. Close family members/persons and the personnel cooperate in your care and rehabilitation. As a rule, you are allowed to live in institutional care for the remainder of your life. Institutional care is organised by both public and private service providers. Housing services for the elderly are gradually abandoning social welfare institutional care and moving towards more individualised, more up-to-date service housing, where the elderly live in their own dwellings or in single or double rooms in a group home. Social welfare institutional care is abandoning long-term housing by 2027.

Conditions

According to Section 14a of the Elderly Services Act, a wellbeing services county can provide long-term care and attention in the form of institutional care to suit the elderly person’s service needs only if there are medical grounds for doing so, or if it is otherwise justified to ensure safe care for the client/patient. The decision on the service can also be made as per Section 67 of the Health Care Act.

Our maternity clinic supports the well-being of the mother, the baby-to-be, and the entire family, helping you prepare for parenthood.

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

We focus on ensuring a healthy pregnancy, supporting your family's overall well-being, and facilitating a safe childbirth experience. We are here to assist you with all pregnancy-related matters and the transition to parenthood. The first pregnancy visit should be scheduled as soon as the pregnancy is confirmed, after pregnancy week 6. The first maternity clinic visit is generally conducted remotely. Your partner or support person is always welcome to accompany you. Throughout your pregnancy, you'll typically have monthly meetings with a nurse or doctor—either in person at the clinic or remotely. The maternity clinic also offers support for strengthening relationships. If you are expecting your first child, you and your partner (and/or support person) will be referred to a multidisciplinary Family Coaching program. Should any complications arise during your pregnancy, your doctor or nurse will refer you for further examinations at the maternity clinic. As your pregnancy progresses, additional appointments and specialized support can be arranged as needed. These may include managing gestational diabetes, addressing fears related to childbirth, breastfeeding guidance, or support for mental health and substance use issues. If parents are unmarried, the clinic offers guidance on recognizing parenthood. Under certain conditions, acknowledgment of parenthood can also be completed at the clinic before the child is born.

Conditions

Maternity clinic services are available to all pregnant individuals and expectant families as part of primary healthcare. These services are voluntary, free of charge, and provided under the Health Care Act (Section 15).

About this service

Description

The memory clinic services are obtained with a doctor's referral. The referral can be drawn up by a physician at your health centre, a hospital physician or a private physician.

In addition, our goal is to maintain your functional capacity through pharmacotherapy and rehabilitative measures so that you can live safely at home for as long as possible. After the examinations and diagnosis at the Memory Clinic, the Senior Info client manager specialised in memory disorders and a physician at your health station will monitor your situation. If you are a home care client, home care nurses and attending physicians are responsible for the monitoring. Appointments at the Memory Clinic are subject to an appointment-specific client fee that is taken into consideration in the annual payment ceiling. The initial appointment with a nurse and assessment appointment are free of charge.

Mobility instruction for persons with disabilities

Mobility instruction aims to support a person with a visual impairment in moving independently and safely.

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

The purpose of mobility instruction is for the person with a visual impairment to master the techniques or means of moving safely and the skills needed for traveling on familiar paths. A person with a visual impairment can receive mobility instruction from the HUS Outpatient Clinic for Eye Diseases and through adaptation training courses arranged by Kela. In addition to these, the service can be granted by the Disability Services, if adequate support for the client’s situation has not been achieved through rehabilitation. Disability Services can grant mobility instruction for things such as learning the services and routes in the client’s close environment, expanding the area in which the client moves and when the client’s eyesight deteriorates or when they start using a new mobility aid.

Conditions

Mobility instruction is a service intended for persons with visual impairment. The rehabilitation provided by HUS Outpatient Clinic for Eye Diseases and Kela’s adaptation training courses takes precedence over the mobility instruction provided by the Disability Services.

Natural disasters

What would you do if the power was out, the mobile phone network down, there was no running water and fallen trees had blocked the roads?

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Storms, heavy rains and floods increase the need for rescue operations, which means that some people may have to wait a while before help reaches them. Therefore, we recommend that you plan in advance what you would do in case of a natural disaster and how you would survive in your home without electricity or running water. You should always have some emergency supplies at home, such as candles and matches, a flashlight and batteries, a water container, non-perishable food and a battery-powered radio. During natural disasters, you will receive information and instructions through the main media, such as the radio. https://72hours.fi/
