[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Seongdong-gu (Mayor Jeong Won-oh) announced that it will carry out meticulous administration through pre-care services and focused check-ins to ensure no welfare gaps occur for vulnerable groups during the Lunar New Year holiday period until the 25th of this month.

The district operates a ‘Pre-care Service’ to provide customized support before the holiday. First, it connects meals or provides sponsorship goods to vulnerable groups who are at risk of missing meals or spending the holiday alone during the holiday period.

Village nurses in each neighborhood visit high-risk health households to check the health status of the elderly. They also conduct housing environment and safety inspections to prepare for the cold wave, carefully ensuring that residents can spend a warm holiday.

Additionally, on the day before the holiday, the 20th, special holiday meals and substitute foods will be directly delivered to the homes of 803 elderly people, persons with disabilities, and others who usually use senior citizen cafeterias or receive meal support.

Meanwhile, the 20th and 25th, before and after the Lunar New Year holiday, have been designated as ‘Focused Check-in Days.’ Welfare officials, members of the local community security council, and neighborhood caregivers will visit or call about 5,000 people, including elderly individuals spending the holiday alone and single-person middle-aged households, to check on their well-being and make every effort to prevent welfare gaps.

Jeong Won-oh, Mayor of Seongdong-gu, stated, “Through careful consideration for vulnerable groups during the Lunar New Year holiday period, we will provide various welfare services so that no residents feel neglected during the holiday and everyone can have a comfortable and warm holiday.”
