hoivayksikkö

A hoivayksikkö, often translated as a care unit or residential care facility, is a type of institution in Finland that provides housing and care services for individuals who require assistance with daily living. These units are designed to offer a supportive and safe environment for people who cannot live independently, often due to age, illness, or disability. The services provided typically include accommodation, meals, personal hygiene assistance, medication management, and social activities.

Hoivayksiköt can cater to various needs, such as elderly care, mental health rehabilitation, or support for individuals with developmental disabilities. The specific services and level of care offered vary depending on the resident's needs and the type of facility. Many hoivayksiköt aim to promote the well-being and independence of their residents as much as possible within the provided framework. The goal is to ensure a good quality of life and support the dignity of each individual. These facilities are a crucial part of Finland's social and healthcare system.
