hoivatarpeeseen

Hoivatarpeeseen is a concept in Finnish social policy that refers to the need for care and support for individuals who are unable to care for themselves due to illness, disability, or old age. The term is derived from the Finnish words "hoito" (care) and "tarve" (need), and "seen" (plural form). It encompasses a range of services and support systems designed to ensure the well-being and independence of vulnerable individuals.

The primary goal of hoivatarpeeseen is to promote the dignity and autonomy of individuals who require care. This is achieved through a combination of personal care services, such as assistance with daily activities, and social support services, such as home help and community-based care. The Finnish social security system plays a crucial role in funding these services, ensuring that those in need receive the support they require.

Hoivatarpeeseen is not limited to elderly individuals; it also includes people with disabilities and those who are chronically ill. The services provided under this concept are tailored to meet the unique needs of each individual, promoting their ability to live independently and maintain a good quality of life.

The implementation of hoivatarpeeseen is overseen by the Finnish Social Insurance Institution (Kela), which works in collaboration with local municipalities and care providers to ensure that the needs of individuals are met effectively. This collaborative approach aims to create a comprehensive and integrated care system that supports the well-being of all Finns.
