Concern grows at care home in Kouvola as some staff do not speak Finnish

According to Iltalehti, the unit employs foreign carers without sector training, and several co-workers have already resigned. The situation raises questions about care quality and staffing.

A care home in Kouvola is facing concern after staff members with limited language skills have been working there, Iltalehti reports. The unit has also seen unusually high turnover, with several co-workers already resigning.

The report says the concern is heightened by the fact that some of the employees are foreign carers without formal training in the field. The case raises wider questions about how care homes ensure competence, a shared working language and a safe everyday environment for residents.
