Seoul Social Service Institute Hosts Art Exhibition with Seniors

Elderly Care Service Art Exhibition and Experience Program 진행

[Asia Economy Reporter Kiho Sung] The Choroksoop Daycare Center, affiliated with the Seoul Social Service Institute, announced on the 26th that it held an art exhibition for users and citizens to celebrate the year-end.

This art exhibition consisted of 100 handcrafted works such as paintings, mobiles, and frames created by the elderly using the daycare center throughout 2022 during the 'Cognitive Enhancement' and 'Dementia Prevention' program sessions.

This year's exhibition also included various programs such as a 'Christmas Flower Making' experience where participants made poinsettias, and local residents leaving '2023 New Year encouragement messages' for the elderly.

For the elderly who had few opportunities to visit the center and limited interaction with others due to COVID-19, the exhibition provided a time to communicate with residents and feel like members of the local community.

Meanwhile, although the center faced difficulties at its opening due to opposition from some local residents, it has now settled well in the community with the support of residents by creating not only care services but also a resident coexistence manual to communicate with the local community.

Jeon Byeonghak, director of Choroksoop Daycare Center, stated, “We will continue to prepare various programs that help the elderly maintain a healthy lifestyle and stay close to the local community.”
