D2—The Welfare LandscapeFor the elderly in Finland, the welfare system is a complex landscapeof services, relationships, and physical places. As individuals move beyondretirement age, the features of this landscape will define ever greater portionsof their journey—from where one lives, to what one eats, to defininghow and with whom time is spent.Individual paths through this landscape are unique; each journey isdetermined by a constant interaction between the elderly individual andthe available options provided by the welfare system. Like individualhealth, pathways through this landscape are often complex and non-linear.IndividualIncomeEmployee Pension, National Pension, Housing Allowance, Care AllowanceASSISTANCEAdvice- AdvisoryCenterCommunityHelp- Private- Volunteers- Neighbors- FamilyGovernmentHelpPreventiveHome VisitDay Service- Home Care- Home Service- Stimulation- Exercise- Social Interaction- Home Nursing- Meals-on Wheel- Transportation- Security & Coping- Clothing & Cleaning- Social ParticipationHEALTH CARE- Health Center- Home Nursing- Service Housing Nursing- Special Dementia ServiceHOUSINGlive in an institution- short term care- long term care- part time care- nursing home- a bed in a health center- a bed in a specialized healthfacilitylive in service housing- individual service flat- service flat cluster- service block- may be intensive care (24hr)- special group homes <strong>for</strong>dementia patientslive at home- live with others- renovation grants- in<strong>for</strong>mal care support- live alonedementia is a realproblem here:75-84: 10,7%>85: 35,0%- live in cooperative- live with family287
