Suncheon Disabled Comprehensive Welfare Center Selected as Top Institution in Disability Activity Support Evaluation

Contributing to Improved Quality of Life through Customized Service Provision

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Lee Hyung-kwon] Suncheon City in Jeonnam announced on the 12th that the Suncheon Disabled Welfare Center was selected as the top institution in the service quality evaluation in last year's Disabled Activity Support assessment conducted by the National Pension Service.

The Disabled Activity Support evaluation is conducted by the National Pension Service under Article 25 of the Act on Support for Disabled Activities, evaluating 344 disabled activity support service institutions nationwide and selecting the top 30 institutions as the best institutions.

The Suncheon Disabled Welfare Center started a pilot project to establish the Disabled Activity Support Service system in 2008 and has been providing support services for the daily life and social participation of disabled persons for 12 years.

It was also highly evaluated for continuously contributing to improving the quality of life by supporting community participation and independent living for persons with severe disabilities, thereby reducing the burden on families and providing customized services to the disabled themselves.

Director Jeong Hanna said, “We will continue to strive to expand opportunities for social participation by respecting the self-determination rights of users (guardians) and improve service quality through the welfare enhancement of activity supporters.”

Meanwhile, Suncheon City plans to expand the Disabled Welfare Center with a basement floor and three above-ground floors, covering a total area of 1,428㎡, and open it in the first half of this year, enabling disabled persons to receive comprehensive services such as treatment and exercise in more comfortable facilities.
