Geumcheon-gu Provides Holiday Gift Nutritional Snacks to 90 Users of 'Dolbom SOS Service'

Geumcheon-gu (Mayor Yu Seong-hoon) announced that it will provide high-calcium yanggaeng sets as snacks to users of the ‘Care SOS Service’ ahead of the traditional Korean holiday, Seollal.

This snack was prepared to comfort Care SOS Service users who may feel relatively isolated during the Seollal holiday period and to share the warmth of the local community.

The recipients are 90 people among the ‘Care SOS Service’ users, including ▲ recipients and near-poor classes under the ‘National Basic Livelihood Security Act,’ low-income registered disabled persons, and ▲ single-parent families under the ‘Single-Parent Family Support Act.’

The ‘Geumcheon Neighborhood Care SOS Service’ is a project that quickly provides necessary services to residents in urgent and temporary crisis situations. It is available to all adult residents, especially targeting the elderly, disabled, and middle-aged people over 50 years old.

In particular, for residents who suddenly need care due to illness, accident, or discharge after surgery within the last three months, the service focuses on providing ▲ temporary home care (where service providers visit the user’s home to assist with nursing and caregiving), ▲ short-term facility admission, ▲ outing activity support, ▲ residential convenience (cleaning, laundry, repairs), and ▲ meal delivery. For those with an income at or below 100% of the median income, the entire service cost is covered; others are subject to co-payment.

Applications can be made through the local community service center or the Dasan Call Center. Whether the service is provided is determined by a care manager from the community service center who visits the site and decides based on urgency and severity.

Yu Seong-hoon, Mayor of Geumcheon-gu, said, “I hope that during this Seollal holiday, everyone can spend a warm and hopeful holiday without any neighbors feeling emotionally isolated,” and added, “We will strive to minimize care blind spots through the Care SOS Service.”
