Mäntylä Group Home is a residence for nine senior residents from Helsinki who have disabilities, and it operates within the Service Home Cecilia. Some of our residents remain engaged in work and day activities outside the home, while others choose to enjoy their retirement within our home's comfortable environment.
We are committed to providing our residents with 24-hour care for their daily activities. Additionally, within the group home, we have three transitional apartments designed for people who can live independently with minimal support. One of these transitional apartments is located near the group home, while the other two are situated approximately a kilometre away.
Residents in our transitional apartments receive support services approximately once a week to ensure their well-being and independence.
