Kotivirike

Kotivirike provides personalized activity and support services for older people, people with intellectual disabilities, and families with children who have special needs in Oulu and nearby municipalities. Its purpose is to encourage meaningful everyday life, maintain wellbeing and functional ability, and help reduce loneliness and inactivity. Services are planned together with each client, reflecting their interests, strengths, abilities, and circumstances.
