About this service

Description

The Rescue Department must be notified of any fire hazards and accident risks without delay. However, if an accident is imminent, you must call the emergency number 112. If the authorities observe an obvious fire hazard or any other accident risk in a building, apartment or other location, they must notify the rescue authority of the matter without being impeded by possible confidentiality regulations. This notification obligation also applies to a municipality, other public communities and personnel employed by these as well as the operator and personnel responsible for maintaining a care institution and for the organisation of service and supported housing. Accident risks may include, for example, a significant amount of flammable material inside an apartment or dangerous setups of electrical equipment.

Occupational therapy for adults

We offer occupational therapy when a decline in functional capacity or difficulties in daily life occur due to illness, disability, or injury.

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Occupational therapy for adults helps you when your functional capacity has changed due to an illness, disability or injury and you have difficulty coping with your everyday life. The objective of occupational therapy is to support your functional capacity and your ability to cope as independently as possible in everyday activities that are meaningful to you, regardless of your functional limitations. You can book an appointment for occupational therapy services yourself or through a referral from a social welfare and health care professional without a referral from a physician. You still always need to book an appointment. You can book an appointment for occupational therapy by contacting us. Based on the individual assessment, we will define the objectives of rehabilitation with you and plan the methods for the implementation of occupational therapy. Occupational therapy includes assessments of functional capacity, guidance and advice, assessment of the need for assistive devices and adjustments to your dwelling, and implementation of therapy periods. We offer occupational therapy at in-person appointments, video appointments and/or home visits. If the therapist estimates that your rehabilitation requires a medical assessment, we can refer you to a physician at your local health centre. If necessary, we will require a referral from a health centre physician to assess your need for rehabilitation. When the rehabilitation responsibility lies with another party, such as the Social Insurance Institution of Finland (KELA), the rehabilitation provided by KELA may not be supplemented by primary health care rehabilitation. The service is mainly subject to a fee for people over the age of 18.

Orthodontic treatment

With orthodontic treatment, we correct severe malocclusions.

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Your bite is always examined during an oral and dental examination or a health check performed by a dentist or a dental hygienist. If a severe malocclusion is suspected during the examination, you may be referred to a specialist in orthodontics for an assessment of the severity of the condition. Based on the severity of the malocclusion, the specialist will determine whether the criteria for starting orthodontic treatment are met. For decisions on access to care, we follow the Ministry of Social Affairs and Health’s criteria for non-urgent care, which include a ten level scoring system for malocclusions (Uniform Criteria for Non-Urgent Care 2019). The scoring system takes into account the different developmental stages of the dentition. If the criteria are met due to the severity of the malocclusion, orthodontic treatment can be started, taking into consideration the patient’s age, stage of growth, and dental development. The patient is also expected to commit to the treatment. The start of orthodontic treatment may occur significantly later than the specialist’s examination. The decision to begin treatment is always reassessed when the treatment period is about to start. In some cases, the malocclusion may be corrected naturally through normal growth and dental development, and orthodontic treatment may no longer be necessary. Orthodontic treatment may also be withheld if it is not expected to provide clear benefit when considering the patient’s overall situation.

Conditions

An individual treatment plan is made for every patient before orthodontic treatment begins. Orthodontic treatment requires long-term commitment, as it often lasts for several years. Good oral health is essential. Your teeth must not have cavities or gum inflammation, and you must maintain excellent oral hygiene throughout the treatment. Orthodontic appliances must be used according to instructions and brought to every appointment. Your orthodontic treatment may be discontinued if you do not follow the instructions for appliance use or cleaning, or if you miss several appointments. If your bite does not qualify you for public orthodontic treatment, you may choose to seek orthodontic treatment privately at your own expense.

About this service

Description

Other diagnostic services refer to the various examinations and appointments used to determine the diagnosis of certain illnesses and to assess their severity and prognosis. Examinations are often also necessary to monitor the effectiveness of treatment and, for example, to assess the ability to work. The examinations include, e.g. the long-term registration of electrocardiograms and blood pressure as well as the polygraphy examination used in diagnosing sleep disorders. The examinations and appointments require a referral from the treating physician through a booked appointment. When making an appointment, you will receive instructions for preparing for the examination. It is important to follow the instructions in order for the examination to be successful. The examinations can be short-term measurements or long-term registrations, where the registration device accompanies the patient throughout the follow-up period.

Conditions

The physician will assess whether an examination is necessary and make the necessary referrals.

Part-time care

Part-time care refers to treatment outside the home to support the informal carer’s coping and the customer’s ability to function and cope at home.

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

Who is part-time care intended for? Part-time care is a possible alternative for you if you have a temporary need for treatment and care when your informal carer or your close family member/person is out running errands or at work. The aim of part-time care is to promote the informal carers’ well-being and support them in their nursing tasks. The objective is to organise the service flexibly even in sudden and unexpected situations involving the informal carer, for example, during a physician’s appointment. The service is provided during both day and night, for a maximum period of 12 hours. How do I get into part-time care? If you have a customer relationship with a unit providing part-time care, you can directly enquire the unit of the possibility of part-time care. The unit will agree on the time and duration of the care period with you. The reserved periods are binding. What does the part-time care service entail? In part-time care, you will receive all the basic and medical care services you need. You can participate in meals and other activities as per the unit’s schedule. Meals and care are included in the fee. However, you should bring along the care supplies, medication and clothing you need. You are responsible for arranging transport to and from the treatment period. 

Conditions

You can apply for part-time care if you have an informal carer and have been in short-term service housing or participated in daytime activities. The need for part-time care is temporary and has arisen suddenly. Part-time care does not require a decision on support for informal care, and it does not compensate for the informal carer’s statutory days off. The prerequisite is that you cannot spend even short periods of time alone at home and that it is not possible to arrange treatment in the form of planned outpatient services (e.g. daytime activities).

About this service

Description

You can become a rehabilitation client when the monitoring in specialised medical care ends or when you move to the Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County from another municipality. In the rehabilitation services, we will assess the need for physiotherapy, occupational therapy and speech therapy as well as a rehabilitation plan for adults with developmental disabilities aged over 18. The rehabilitation plan process is coordinated by the rehabilitation coordinator. Rehabilitation plans for persons with developmental disabilities aged over 18 for Kela’s intensive medical rehabilitation are prepared at health stations. Assessments and plans for individuals under 18 with intellectual disabilities are conducted through rehabilitation services for children and young people.

Conditions

Most of the rehabilitation is intensive rehabilitation organised by Kela, which is provided by Kela's contract therapists in private practices. Basic rehabilitation and its planning for people with developmental disabilities are carried out at their local health station. Health examinations and the necessary certificates, for example for transport services, are prepared at health stations. If you need other support, advice and guidance related to a developmental disability to help you cope in your daily life, contact the rehabilitation coordinator in your area.

Self-care and promoting oral health

In oral care, our most important task is to promote health as well as encourage and guide people of all ages to maintain good oral self-care.

Published by: Western Uusimaa Wellbeing Services County · Regional organisation

Description language: English

Coverage: Selected municipalities, regions or wellbeing services counties

About this service

Description

A living environment that supports healthy choices is key in promoting oral health. The most important task to promote good oral and dental health is done at home with good self-care. Good oral hygiene helps you keep your mouth fresh, healthy and painless. Good oral hygiene habits are already adopted early in childhood and help you throughout life. A healthy mouth is an important part of a person’s well-being and general health. The aim of oral care is to support oral self-care with instructions available on the Internet and through individual counselling at appointments. In addition, we offer guidance at various events, supported housing units, schools and day-care centres. Follow the instructions below to get far in preventing oral illnesses: Brush your teeth thoroughly in the morning and evening with fluoride-based toothpaste. Clean between your teeth daily. Have a regular and healthy diet. It is ideal for your teeth to have 4–6 meals a day. At the end of a meal, have a xylitol mint or a piece of chewing gum. Drink water to quench your thirst. Sports, energy, soft and light drinks and fresh juices have lots of acids that cause dental erosion. If they contain sugar, they cause tooth decay. Ensure healthy habits at all stages of life. Cigarettes and other tobacco products are particularly harmful to oral health. Have regular check-ups with an oral health care professional.

Conditions

Oral health is promoted and self-care guidance is provided to everyone in connection with oral health examinations and treatment needs assessments as well as on the basis of the treatment plan drawn up during the examination. In addition, oral health is promoted in cooperation with other instances.
