The objective is that the residents at risk of deteriorating health and well-being could enjoy exercise and culture services equally with other residents. The LiiKu support combines competences from Social Services, Health Care and Rescue Services Division, Culture and Leisure Division as well as Education Division.
Good experiences from the previous LiiKu support trial were utilised when planning the trial period, and they form the basis of expanding the trial to wider range of social and health services. The LiiKu support was first tested between October 2020 and February 2021.

In the LiiKu support operating model, a professional motivates and supports the customer to get to know and take part in culture and exercise services or to move on their own. Special attention is paid to service guidance. The personnel participating in the trial has been trained to use the LiiKu support.
The customer writes down their goals and plans for being active and enjoying culture in a paper LiiKu passport. With the LiiKu passport, the customer and professional can together monitor the customer’s progress in achieving their goal.
The LiiKu passport also presents a wide variety of free and affordable exercise, culture and adult education institute’s services.
