Psychiatric Inpatient Care Unit for People with Intellectual Disability, Kerava

We admit patients with a doctor's referral as planned, and the client needs to have a valid special care program or a decision for providing special care made by a expert group for advanced-level multiprofessional support in addition to a decision for advanced-level multiprofessional support as defined in section 16 of the Disability Services Act (Vammaispalvelulaki).

At our unit, we examine and treat patients with challenges related to intellectual disability or psychiatric symptoms. We also perform examinations of intellectual disability or its severity. 

We offer care according to the patient's individual needs with a focus on assessing and supporting the patient’s functional capacity, medicinal and non-medicinal treatment, and finding care models, structures and communication methods best suited for each person. We utilize dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) methods tailored to the patient’s developmental level.
