Roihuvuori Service Centre is an open meeting place, and its activities support you to live at home and promote your well-being. We welcome every visitor with open arms to our homely service centre!

It is easy to visit us. The HSL bus stop of service line 802 is right next to us, and we are also easily accessible for people with disabilities. Our surroundings are lush and wooded, and our indoor space is decorated with lots of greenery to give a cosy atmosphere. You can immerse yourself in a book or the daily newspaper at a quiet branch of the City Library.

Our backyard is home to Sankku, a senior pony that delights residents of all ages.

We at Roihuvuori Service Centre employ social counsellors and a physiotherapist, among others.

We have a café-restaurant on our premises. You can find the link to the restaurant's menu at the end of this page.

We also have a self-care point, customer computers and a printer for independent use. You can print documents free of charge if they are related to social and health services, for example.

The service centre's activities are intended for pensioners and the unemployed. Unless stated otherwise, the services provided at the centre are free. To access them, you need a service centre card that you can obtain from the service centre's information desk free of charge.
