[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] Seoul City announced on the 24th that it will complete the construction of the city’s first public silver care center for elderly care in the form of a Group Home, the ‘Seoul Mapo Silver Care Center,’ by the end of June near Gongdeok Station within the Startup Hub complex, and after preparation, it will open in July.

The first floor houses the daycare center, offices, the director’s office, and volunteer rooms, serving as management spaces. The daycare center is placed on the first floor with a separate entrance to facilitate easy admission and discharge during both day and night. Additionally, a shared lounge and caf? are installed for use by local residents. The second and third floors contain nursing rooms and dementia-specialized treatment rooms, consisting of 4 single rooms, 4 double rooms, and 27 quadruple rooms. The fourth floor includes the staff cafeteria and lounge.



Lee Jeong-hwa, Director of Seoul City’s Urban Infrastructure Headquarters, said, “The beautiful and high-quality architecture is welcomed by the local community. As a top-tier facility in Korea, it will provide high-quality care services to the elderly.” She added, “It is expected to gain momentum in expanding public nursing facilities that Seoul City is carrying out in preparation for the super-aged society.”
