Wellbeing of older people

The wellbeing of older people is a broad whole, influenced by physical functional capacity, mental wellbeing, social relationships, safe housing and sufficient income. A good life course and the foundation of everyday life are built on meaningful activities, participation in communities, and timely services.

Safely at Home project

The North Savo Wellbeing Services County and Savonia University of Applied Sciences have launched a joint Safely at Home project.

The aim of the Safely at Home project is to strengthen the safety and functional capacity of older people living at home. The project is aimed at people over 74 years of age living at home, their family members and loved ones, as well as those who work with older people. The goal is to provide support and information that encourages older people to independently strengthen the safety and wellbeing of their homes.

Here is material produced by the project to support the safety of older people’s housing:
