Candidate Joo stated, "To ensure that seniors can enjoy a secure retirement, I will link the 1,000-bed tertiary general hospital that I have attracted with a 400-bed public medical center providing both medical care and support services." He added, "Going beyond simple subsidy support, I am determined to complete a self-sustaining megacity of one million residents free from worries about old age, through a welfare innovation that combines AI technology and public management systems."

The main details include: ▲ Upgrading the Hope Care Center to an 'Integrated Care Support Center' and establishing an AI-based crisis response system; ▲ Establishing a new senior welfare center in the southern region; ▲ Expanding smart senior centers and providing health consultation support; ▲ Offering free packages of safety items such as smartwatches for those diagnosed with dementia; ▲ Expanding the jurisdiction of dementia relief centers; ▲ Introducing a 'quasi-public municipal nursing home system,' in which the city directly manages private nursing homes.

In particular, the "quasi-public nursing home system," which is being attempted for the first time nationwide, is a model in which the city provides operating expenses and directly manages personnel, accounting, and services to raise the quality of private facilities to the level of public institutions.

Candidate Joo stressed, "With the super-aged society approaching, I also plan to announce additional pledges for the creation of a Namyangju-style age-friendly city," adding, "I am committed to building a warm welfare community where no one is left behind."
