We operate in the Kinapori Senior Centre in Sörnäinen. Our facilities offer a safe and peaceful environment that supports your recovery.
Our staff have extensive expertise in supporting the rehabilitation of clients with substance abuse and mental health issues. We utilise the principles of rehabilitative care. We encourage you to do things independently and provide guidance and assistance whenever you need it.
Fenix employs a multi-disciplinary team with practical nurses, nurses, and a physiotherapist. A social instructor and an occupational therapist will also support your rehabilitation.
A home care doctor attends the weekly rehabilitation meetings as required. During these meetings, we will discuss your rehabilitation goals and progress with you.
