According to the city, the population of seniors aged 65 and older in Pyeongtaek stands at 88,005, accounting for 14.5% of the total population, and 35% of them are in need of care. In particular, the most urgent task is to provide a tailored care system for those in the blind spots of care management.

To address this, Pyeongtaek City has set "Ensuring Continuity Between Medical and Welfare Services" and "Field-Based Customized Support" as its core strategies, and plans to strengthen interdepartmental cooperation. Through these efforts, the city aims to provide one-stop medical, nursing, and daily living support services that are neither duplicated nor omitted, in line with the needs of each recipient.

Kim Daehwan, Director of Welfare at Pyeongtaek City, stated, "We will focus all our efforts on integrating fragmented resources and building a one-stop care coordination platform to realize a Pyeongtaek City without care blind spots."
