What is life in the living group like?
Our supported living group consists of ten accessible rental apartments and a pleasant shared living room where you can spend time if you want to. Every resident has an individualised, collaboratively created living implementation plan, in which we will list your needs and wishes.
We will support you to enable you to manage your everyday life as independently as possible. All of our apartments and facilities are specifically designed for the needs of people with reduced mobility.
What is everyday life in Kalasatama Supported Living Group like?
Apart from the help provided by our staff, living in our supported living group is comparable to normal, independent living in a rental apartment.

For your health care needs, you will use society’s general, normal services. Our staff will help you use services where needed.
Our supported living group will provide you with help with daily activities that you are unable to manage by yourself, such as transitions, getting dressed, washing, eating, laundry and apartment upkeep.
