Raviasutus

Raviasutus is a Finnish term that translates to "treatment facility" or "care home" in English. It broadly refers to an institution that provides residential care and medical treatment for individuals who require ongoing support due to illness, disability, or age. These facilities can vary significantly in their specialization and the level of care they offer.

Some raviasutus are designed for individuals with chronic physical or mental health conditions, offering rehabilitation services, therapy, and daily living assistance. Others cater to the elderly, providing long-term care, nursing services, and social activities. The specific services available depend on the facility's mission and funding, which can be public, private, or a combination of both.

Admission to a raviasutus is typically based on a medical assessment and referral, often involving social and healthcare professionals. The goal of these institutions is to improve the well-being and quality of life for their residents by ensuring their physical and emotional needs are met in a supportive and structured environment. They play a crucial role in the Finnish healthcare and social welfare system.
