Where can a patient or a relative find temporary accommodation near OYS?

Temporary accommodation near OYS is available for patients or their relatives who are staying in Oulu for several days or weeks. In a furnished flat, you’ll have your own kitchen, a peaceful space and all the comforts you need for everyday life. Northern Apartments Oy offers accommodation for private individuals for different lengths.

When choosing temporary accommodation near OYS, it’s worth considering your route

As well as checking the address of your home, check the route to the correct entrance to the hospital. The OYS site is extensive, so the walk from a bus stop or car park may have a greater impact on your daily life than the distance from your home as shown on the map. Check today’s transport links From the Oulu Region Transport Route Guide and also sort out the evening and weekend shifts.

If a patient has limited mobility, please ensure there is a lift, no steps, a suitable shower design and the option to park a car close to the entrance. Northern Apartments Oy’s furnished flats Locations and facilities vary, so please let us know your requirements before booking.

The right home makes everyday life, outside of hospital visits, a little easier.

Having a kitchen and laundry facilities makes a stay of several weeks much easier

Having your own kitchen helps you stick to your usual diet and reduces the need to eat out all the time. For example, over a 12-day period, two meals a day costing 15 euros each would amount to a restaurant budget of 360 euros, not including breakfasts. In the kitchen, you can prepare suitable portions and store food in the fridge, but do check in advance that you have enough crockery, cooking utensils and kitchen appliances.

Having access to a washing machine reduces the amount of clothing you need to bring with you. If you do your washing every four days, that amounts to three loads over a 12-day period. Check whether the washing machine is in your flat or in the block’s communal laundry room, and whether you need to book a slot or pay a separate fee to use the laundry room.

Be prepared for the possibility that the schedule for hospital appointments may change

The need for tests, procedures or close support may mean you have to stay in Oulu for longer. Please let us know when you make your booking if your departure date is likely to change, and ask how to arrange an extension. Please also see terms and conditions of accommodation, so that you are aware of the implications of any changes or cancellations.

We cannot guarantee an extension if the next booking for the flat begins. Please get in touch as soon as your care schedule is finalised. Staying in the same flat saves you the hassle of packing, but if necessary, Northern Apartments Oy can look into other available options.

How to book temporary accommodation near OYS

Please state your arrival and departure dates, the number of guests, and the usual times of your hospital appointments. Please also let us know if you require parking, a lift, separate beds or a quiet space to work. This information will help us find a suitable flat and plan your route more quickly.

A furnished flat is not a substitute for a hospital guest house, an accessible care setting or supervised accommodation. Ask the care unit what type of accommodation is suitable for the patient’s state of health if they need assistance with mobility, medication or daily activities.
