About this service

Description

The treatment of diabetes includes regular fundus screening examinations. The purpose of the screening is to prevent the onset and progression of retinal eye diseases caused by diabetes. You will receive an invitation or referral to fundus screening from a health care professional. The referral will include instructions for booking an appointment. You do not need to prepare for the screening in advance. The dilation drops used in the examination affect your vision for about 2–3 hours. You can use sunglasses to protect against the glare. Driving a car is not, however, recommended after the screening. After the screening, the results are sent to a nurse and/or a doctor for review to determine the next screening appointment or possible intervention.

Conditions

The service is intended for clients of the wellbeing services county who have been diagnosed with diabetes. You need a health care professional’s referral to access the service. Please contact your local health centre.

Geriatric outpatient services

The Geriatric Outpatient Clinic examines memory problems in Vantaa and Kerava residents over the age of 70.

Published by: Vantaa and Kerava wellbeing services county · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

The Geriatric Outpatient Clinic examines memory problems in people over the age of 70. For those under 70 with memory problems, examinations are primarily carried out in specialised health care. At the clinic, you can be treated by geriatric specialists, specializing physicians, memory nurses and nurses specialised in memory disorders. We invite you to attend the clinic with a close relative or friend. At the appointment, you and your loved one will be interviewed, your memory will be tested, and the results of your blood tests and brain scans will be reviewed. Based on these, the possible memory impairment can be diagnosed. If necessary, a plan will be made for your medical treatment and other follow-up care, and you will receive guidance and advice about memory loss. Your driving ability will also be assessed, and you will be given follow-up instructions for your treatment.

Conditions

You need a doctor's referral to access the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic. You can get a referral from a health centre, specialised health care or private doctor. Before the memory consultation, laboratory tests, brain imagining studies and questionnaires are carried out. After a severe acute illness, memory tests are only carried out after the recovery period. Active harmful alcohol use is usually a barrier to memory loss studies. To access the service, book an appointment for initial memory tests at a health centre. If more detailed tests are needed, the doctor will refer you to the Geriatric Outpatient Clinic. Your appointment at the clinic will be sent to you by mail, and the letter will include instructions for the tests that need to be done before the appointment (laboratory, X-ray) and a preliminary information form. It is a good idea to come to the appointment with a family member or friend. You should reserve 2 hours for the appointment.

Informal care support for people with disabilities

The service supports the provision of care and support at home with the help of a relative or other close person.

Published by: Vantaa and Kerava wellbeing services county · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Informal care refers to care and support provided at home for an elderly, disabled or ill person with the help of a family member or other close person. Informal care support includes services provided to the client, care allowance, statutory leave and other services that support the carer. A service needs assessment is carried out to examine the overall situation of the informal care family and the available services to support their wellbeing. The assessment pays attention to both resources and challenges in coping with everyday life. The decision to provide informal care is influenced by the family situation, other services provided and information from functional ability and service need indicators.

Conditions

You are eligible for informal care support if you need care and support at home and your family member or other close person is willing and able to act as your informal carer. The care category for the informal care support is determined based on how binding and demanding the care is. The overall situation of the informal care family and the available services to support the family's wellbeing are examined with an assessment of service needs. The assessment pays attention to both resources and challenges in coping with everyday life. The family situation, other services provided and information from the indicators used in the determination all influence the informal care decision. The actual place of residence of the person in need of care must be in the wellbeing services county. Informal care is provided in the home of the client living in the wellbeing services county or informal carer living in the wellbeing services county. Informal care support facilitates living at home, but running errands or housekeeping is not alone a sufficient reason for granting the support. To receive the service, please contact the counselling service for people with disabilities either by phone, email, through the Maisa client portal or by sending an application online or in paper form. You can find the up-to-date contact information and opening hours in the Service units tab.

Inpatient care

Inpatient care consists of multidisciplinary short-term care, functional capacity assessment and rehabilitation where you are an active participant.

Published by: Vantaa and Kerava wellbeing services county · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Through inpatient care, we treat and rehabilitate patients coming from specialised health care or their home. Inpatient care is always short-term. As a patient, you are guided and supported to be as independent as possible in day-to-day tasks, such as bathing and eating. The aim is to improve your ability to function and to ensure a safe discharge with the help of support services, such as the meal service. Your care can then continue as needed, for example as a home care service. Once you arrive, a nurse will show you to your room and explain the activities of the ward in more detail. During your stay, you will be supported by a multidisciplinary team according to your needs. The team includes, for example, doctors, nurses, therapists, social workers and service coordinators. The doctor in charge of your treatment will carry out an initial assessment and plan the medical treatments and examinations for your stay, such as the necessary laboratory and imaging tests. Your physiotherapist will then evaluate your functional capacity, including a basic mobility assessment. You will also be assigned a nurse who takes care of you during your stay. The nurse will carry out a basic assessment of your condition. The details of your treatment period will be recorded in the patient information system so that all professional groups have a common understanding of the goals of the care. Your treatment and rehabilitation are planned and assessed with you throughout your stay. If you wish, your loved ones can be involved in the planning and assessment. Any queries about your condition will be answered primarily by you. You can inform the staff of people who can be informed about your condition and state of health. If you are unable to contact your loved ones because of your condition, we will do it for you.

Conditions

The service is intended for clients of the wellbeing services county's health services. It is provided based on a health care professional's assessment of the need for treatment and its urgency.

Intensive family work

Intensive family work strengthens your child's wellbeing and your family's ability to function through temporary, structured work.

Published by: Vantaa and Kerava wellbeing services county · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Intensive family work is an open care support measure for families with children aged 0–17. It consists of goal-oriented support, assessment and monitoring that aim for change. The objectives are always drawn up together with the family, the child’s social worker and a family work professional. Intensive family work is usually provided for 3–9 months. During that time, the objectives and continuation of the service are assessed together with the family. The need for support stems from risk factors in the family environment, such as parenting challenges, parent–child interaction, upbringing (e.g. boundaries, ground rules, schoolwork) or dysfunction in everyday life. The work aims to strengthen your family’s resources and interaction. The objective is to find solutions together to make your everyday life as smooth and safe as possible for your child's wellbeing. Intensive family work is holistic and intensive support carried out with your family. The work centres around family and individual meetings that take place in everyday settings, such as your family home. It utilises a variety of methods that are suitable for your family, such as conversations that support change, concrete participation in everyday tasks and different functional methods (e.g. day trips, creative methods, games and cards).

Conditions

Participation in intensive family work requires that your child is a client of child welfare services. The need for the service is based on a client plan drawn up by your child’s social worker in child welfare. The social worker helps you apply for the service. If you are interested in the service, please contact your personal social worker. If your child is not a client of child welfare services and you feel that the health and development of the child are endangered by the child’s growth environment or their own behaviour, you can contact the emergency child welfare service during office hours at 09 4191 5500.
