The Sompasaari transitional apartments are located in Sompasaari in the Kalasatama district. We provide transitional apartments for clients of disability services in Helsinki.
The Sompasaari transitional apartments cooperate with Rudolf Housing Group and the Borgströminmäki transitional apartments. You can apply to become a resident via your designated social worker. Our residents sign a lease agreement with Setlementtiasunnot and are subject to normal lessee obligations.
The transitional apartments of Sompasaari Housing Group are suitable for you if you can manage your everyday activities relatively independently but need regular guidance and support in your everyday life. We will provide you with guidance during support visits at your home or by phone. If needed, our instructors can also help you take care of service matters outside home, such as health care appointments.
We do not have staff present at night.
