Karviaismäki Group Home, located in Malmi, comprises the primary group home with seven resident places, communal facilities, and three separate one-bedroom apartments.
Within the group home, we offer not only the group home apartments but also a transitional apartment where our resident receives our support while residing in their own home.
The majority of Karviaismäki Group Home's residents are actively engaged in work or day activities, with some already retired. We prioritise inclusivity by tailoring our activities to accommodate residents with reduced mobility.
Our staff are available 7.00-21.00, with a night nurse from Viikki Supported Living Group on call.
The group home is staffed by a team of four instructors.
