Due to the recent increase in COVID-19 cases, the ceremony was simplified, with only commemorative speeches, congratulatory speeches, and a plaque unveiling.
The county explained that since recipients who have been graded for long-term elderly care only used visiting care and visiting bathing services and did not receive high-quality benefits such as physical and cognitive activity support, nursing, and treatment for an extended period, they established the Home Visit Nursing Center, the first of its kind among public health centers nationwide, to prevent health deterioration of recipients and meet various needs.
