[Asia Economy Reporter Park Hyesook] The Incheon Municipal Nursing Home is scheduled to be completed by June 2022.

Incheon City announced on the 24th that it will build the Incheon Municipal Nursing Home in the Dorim-dong area of Namdong-gu by 2022 to care for elderly people suffering from severe illnesses.

The Incheon Municipal Nursing Home, with a budget of 10.2 billion KRW including national funds, will be a three-story building with a total floor area of 2,714㎡, accommodating 115 elderly residents at once.

The city established the basic plan for the construction of the Incheon Municipal Nursing Home in May 2018, went through shared property review and investment evaluation, and recently selected a design firm to begin detailed design work.

Early next month, a kickoff meeting will be held to announce the winning design proposal, discuss the project schedule, and gather residents' opinions through a briefing session.

Additionally, the city is promoting the construction of comprehensive nursing facilities in Ongjin-gun, which consists solely of islands, to increase the number of county and district public elderly care facilities.

Small-scale elderly nursing facilities reflecting local characteristics are planned to be built in Yeonpyeong-myeon, Bukdo-myeon, and Jawol-myeon, with design firms recently selected. The Ministry of Health and Welfare is also reviewing plans to build elderly nursing facilities in Daecheong-myeon and Deokjeok-myeon of Ongjin-gun.

An Incheon city official stated, "Comprehensive nursing services from care to treatment are important due to rapid population aging," adding, "We plan to expand public elderly nursing facilities not only in the Incheon Municipal Nursing Home but also in counties and districts."
