Gwangjin-gu, Operation of Social Welfare Meal Management Support Center

Gwangjin-gu Supports Meal Management at Welfare Facilities for the Elderly and Disabled... Ensuring Hygiene and Nutrition!

From July, professional nutritionists will provide on-site guidance at small-scale meal facilities used by the elderly and disabled

Systematic support including kitchen hygiene guidance, resident nutrition management, and age- and disease-specific meal planning

Gwangjin-gu (Mayor Kim Kyung-ho) will operate a Social Welfare Meal Management Support Center starting in July to provide high-quality meals for the elderly and disabled.

Although social welfare facilities continue to increase, most small-scale welfare facilities providing meals operate without nutritionists.

Accordingly, the district has established the ‘Social Welfare Meal Management Support Center’ to support small-scale meal facilities with fewer than 50 users, mainly serving the elderly and disabled, and has prepared a more systematic management plan.

Professional nutritionists affiliated with the center will regularly visit small-scale meal facilities to provide systematic hygiene and nutrition management support.

Specifically, they will conduct ▲ kitchen hygiene guidance ▲ resident nutrition management ▲ age- and disease-specific meal planning ▲ customized dietary education tailored to each target group.

This year, the district plans to initially support 33 small-scale social welfare meal facilities and gradually expand the number of supported facilities.

Mayor Kim Kyung-ho stated, “We will provide safe and balanced high-quality meals through professional meal management,” and added, “We will strive to improve the health and quality of life of vulnerable groups through continuous support.”
