Our story

Each one of us follows our own pathways in life. We at Rinnekodit work to ensure that no one has to wander alone on their paths. We believe that everyone is entitled to live their own kind of life and have someone walk beside them.

Rinnekodit – On all Pathways of Life

The socially impactful work of Rinnekodit began over 155 years ago at the Deaconess Foundation. Today we are a special services provider for urbanizing Finland. We provide comprehensive health and social services for the elderly, for intellectually or otherwise disabled people, for people with addictive disorders and for homeless people, for children and youth, as well as for other people in need of special support.

Rinnekodit currently has 150 care facilities in 20 locations and in 14 wellbeing services counties. Our services reach approximately 5 000 customers.

Together with our owner the Deaconess Foundation and our partners, our goal is to build a world where everyone can lead a good and decent life.

Our employees play a key role in enabling a good life for our customers and in building a more equal world. They make us the boldest workplace in the social sector. For us boldness means unyielding work for the weaker as well as successes and mistakes in building a meaningful pathway. Similarly, boldness means new career paths, boundless innovation and opportunities for development. Work into which you can put your heart.

Our job is to strengthen the trust, inclusion and empowerment of the people using our services.

Olli Holmström, CEO of the Deaconess Foundation
