In the individual guidance appointment for elderly, the gerontology students of Metropolia University of Applied Sciences will meet you expertly and without haste. Our staff, who are health care professionals, are responsible for the services. Together we can support your good aging.
Individual appointment with a gerontology student
Would you like information about ageing, memory-related issues, or are you feeling lonely? Do digital tasks feel difficult or uncertain? The content of each meeting is shaped by your needs and wishes. You may come once or as many times as you like.
Each individual session lasts 1.5 hours. Book an appointment through our online booking system, in person, or by calling our customer service. You can attend the appointment alone or together with a family member or friend.
Memory Support
During the appointment, a gerontology student will explore your current situation and provide personalised guidance and advice. You will have the opportunity to discuss any concerns related to your memory, and if needed, we can also carry out memory tests.
Digital Guidance
In our digital guidance sessions, you will receive individual and unhurried support in using your phone, tablet, or computer. You can book a session if you want more confidence in using digital services or wish to learn something new safely and at your own pace. Our goal is that you leave the appointment feeling more confident and able to manage your digital tasks smoothly in the future.
