Asumisyksiköihin

Asumisyksiköihin is the illative plural form of the Finnish noun asumisyksikkö. It indicates movement toward or into several housing units that provide supported living arrangements and care services. The term is used in social services and health care contexts to describe placements or transitions to these units.

An asumisyksikkö refers to a small residential unit within a larger care or housing system. Each unit typically includes a private living space and shared facilities, with access to staff and support services. Units are designed for individuals who need some assistance due to age, disability, or health conditions, while aiming to preserve a degree of independence and everyday living.

In practice, the phrase asumisyksiköihin appears in planning, documentation, and service discussions to describe where a person will be or has been moved. Examples include phrases like asiakas siirto asumisyksiköihin or palveluasuminen siirtyi asumisyksiköihin. The concept is closely related to other care housing forms such as palveluasuminen (service housing) and ryhmäkoti (group home), with variation depending on local administration, funding, and care protocols.

Overall, asumisyksiköihin denotes the direction toward small, supported housing units intended to balance safety and supervision with opportunities for independent living within a structured care framework.
