Geochang County Senior Care Hospital 'Steps Closer to Normal Operation'

Significant Increase in Hospitalized Patients from 60s to 80s

Geochang County Senior Nursing Hospital in Gyeongnam announced on the 18th that the number of inpatients in the wards has significantly increased to the 80s.

Since the transition to direct management by Geochang County on May 12 last month, the hospital has improved its environment by hiring new staff, replacing outdated facilities, and introducing new medical equipment. It has also worked to normalize operations both inside and outside the hospital by managing discharged patients, providing filial piety performance volunteer services, hairdressing volunteer services, and conducting training to strengthen hospital staff’s capabilities for patient safety and infection prevention.

As a result, word of mouth among Geochang residents and guardians has gradually increased the number of inpatients, surpassing the previous 60s and reaching the 80s, similar to the number of patients during the period of stable operation.

In response to the increasing demand from inpatients and their guardians, the hospital plans to renovate the entire facility and hire additional nursing and caregiving staff.

Gu In-mo, CEO of Geochang County Senior Nursing Hospital, said, “As the residents entrust their family members to us, our hospital staff will also consider the patients as their own family and do their best in nursing and caring for the elderly.”

Meanwhile, starting in August, Geochang County Senior Nursing Hospital plans to provide a higher level of medical services by operating programs linked with the Public Health Center’s Dementia Safety Center and Rehabilitation Therapy Room.
