Äidinkoti

Äidinkoti, in Finnish meaning "mother's home", refers to institutions providing long - term care and support services, primarily for elderly individuals, people with disabilities, or those requiring ongoing assistance. These facilities offer housing, daily care, medical support, rehabilitation services, and social activities to enhance residents' quality of life. In Finland, such homes often integrate community - based care, with options like day care or short - term stays to meet diverse needs. Services typically include meal preparation, personal care, mental health support, and cultural programs, ensuring a safe and comfortable living environment. As part of the country's social welfare system, Äidinkoti helps alleviate family caregiving burdens while fostering social participation among seniors, reflecting Finland's commitment to elder care and well - being.
