YIT to build an assisted living facility in Kirkkonummi, Finland

Yrjö and Hanna Foundation supports the well-being of the elderly, the disabled and others who need help in their everyday. The Foundation has Yrjö and Hanna Homes in 11 locations around Finland, offering their residents with housing, care and nursing services.

The assisted living facility to be built is located in Ratavalli, a new cosy residential area developed by YIT in Masala, Kirkkonummi. The future plans for Ratavalli include a wide variety of different housing alternatives. Currently, YIT is building three apartment complexes in the area, and, all in all, the area will consist of ten apartment complexes.

“The new Ratavalli residential area is close to nature and has good transport connections. The assisted living facility being built will increase the area’s versatile housing options and services that can also be utilised by the future residents of other housing companies,” says Harri Isoviita, Senior Vice President at YIT.
