kotikäyntiä

Kotikäyntiä is a Finnish term that translates to "home visit" or "house call." It refers to a professional visiting a person's home to provide a service, support, or care. This practice is common in various sectors, including healthcare, social services, education, and even some commercial services.

In healthcare, kotikäyntiä by nurses, doctors, or therapists allows patients, particularly those with mobility issues or chronic conditions, to receive medical attention and rehabilitation in the comfort of their own homes. This can include wound care, medication management, physical therapy, and general health assessments. The aim is to improve patient well-being, reduce hospitalizations, and provide personalized care.

Social services also utilize home visits to assess living conditions, provide support to families, elderly individuals, or people with disabilities, and ensure their safety and welfare. Educators might conduct home visits to better understand a student's home environment and collaborate with parents on their child's learning. In some commercial contexts, it can refer to service technicians visiting a home to perform repairs or installations.

The concept of kotikäyntiä emphasizes accessibility, personalization, and a holistic approach to service delivery, bringing essential support directly to where people live.
