The first thing in this section of the building was a lobby like space.
Next was a small kitchen. I wonder, whether it was for staff or patients.
Just guessing. But I wonder, could this have been the main dining room of the facility. It was by far the largest open space so far.
There was a counter leading to the small kitchen, so maybe my guess was right.
But in addition to dining, this has also probably been the main assembly area of the place.
There was even a small fireplace, which was surely popular with the residents during winters.
Psalm books. This is indeed a very religious area, so no wonder they had a lot of them.

Access to the back yard.
And what do we have here?
Looks like the sauna department.
A look back from the door of the sauna.
The dressing room of the sauna.
I guess you can never be too old for these.
The sauna itself was spacious. You could even bathe in a wheelchair.
Old soap and shampoo bottles of the inhabitants. Intriguingly the name on the bottle to the right is the same as on the programme of the memorial service found earlier.
That note has probably been attached to the door if an inhabitant has been bathing.
The emergency exit for the sauna.

Despite being built in the 1970’s or 1980’s, this wing of the building contained wall decorations similar to 1950’s and 1960’s public buildings in Finland.
