Gongbuk 1-gu, Moksadong-myeon applied for and was selected for Jeollanam-do's "Support Project for Installing Communal Living Houses in Senior Centers" last year, renovating facilities such as bedrooms, showers, and restrooms.

This year, with support from the county, beds and other furniture were purchased, and the interior facilities were refurbished to open the house.

Jung Gyu-su, head of Gongbuk 1-gu, said, "Elderly people living alone can now live together in a better residential environment and respond quickly to emergencies. We will operate it well so that the elderly can feel emotional stability."

A county official said, "We will support elderly people who spend lonely old age to live a healthy and vibrant life without loneliness together with their neighbors."
