Gijang County in Busan Reports High Resident Satisfaction with '365 Care Plus Gijang Project'

Customized Health Support for Physical, Cognitive, and Mental Well-being

Gijang County in Busan announced on the 22nd that the '365 Care Plus Gijang Project,' a customized health support program for residents, has been receiving a highly positive response from participants.

'365 Care Plus Gijang' is a project that provides personalized health supplies and other support tailored to the physical, cognitive, and emotional needs of individuals who require such assistance. It has been newly implemented this year as a major welfare policy initiative in Gijang County.

The county provides exercise equipment such as hand grip strengtheners and resistance bands to residents who need to improve their physical fitness, and cognitive training materials such as puzzles and transcription notebooks to those who require cognitive support.

Additionally, for residents who need emotional support, the county regularly checks in on their well-being and connects them with care workers to help alleviate feelings of depression.

As of August, around 120 residents are participating and receiving support through this project. Residents who wish to participate can apply at the administrative welfare center in their town or township of residence.

Furthermore, 12 integrated care centers, including the Daehappy Comprehensive Social Welfare Center and Gijang Regional Self-Sufficiency Center, will actively identify eligible individuals and provide services tailored to each area of need.

County Governor Jeong Jongbok stated, "We will continue to actively develop and support region-specific care services tailored to local characteristics and circumstances so that residents can enjoy a happy and healthy daily life in their community."

In addition to the '365 Care Plus Gijang' project, Gijang County is also collaborating with 14 public and private organizations to implement the 'Gijang On(?) Care' project. Continuing from last year, nine highly rated programs such as household and side dish support, laundromat services, and transportation card distribution are being provided. Starting this year, the county has expanded the initiative by adding the 'Post-Discharge Patient Safe Care' program, which supports daily living for discharged patients, and the 'Hospital Safe Escort' program, which assists with hospital visits.
