Perhekoti Ilona

Perhekoti Ilona is a small family home in Hollola, Finland, providing long-term foster care for children aged 0–18 who need an out-of-home placement. Set in a peaceful rural environment with good transport connections, the home has four places, allowing caregivers to focus on each child as an individual and offer attentive, unhurried support.

The home’s approach is family-centred: children are welcomed as part of the family, while their biological families are also considered in its work. Safety and stable relationships are central to care, supported by an adult-led, structured daily routine and attention to the security of the living environment. Perhekoti Ilona aims to provide children with positive experiences of family life and a foundation for balanced everyday living.

Life at the home includes time outdoors, opportunities to spend time with resident domestic animals, and encouragement to take part in varied hobbies. Staff support each child in finding activities that suit them, both at the home and elsewhere.
