The Long-term Care Home Medical Center Pilot Project is a program in which a home medical care team consisting of doctors, nurses, and social workers visits the homes of long-term care recipients with mobility difficulties once or twice a month to provide medical treatment, nursing, and care services. Through this, it plans to provide integrated services including physical health, residential environment inspection, emotional stability support, and welfare linkage. Previously, the district was selected for the "Long-term Care Home Medical Center Pilot Project," a public contest project hosted by the Ministry of Health and Welfare.
Through this business agreement, Seocho-gu and Seocho Agape Clinic plan to cooperate to provide integrated medical and care services to elderly people in need. Seocho-gu will carry out various promotional activities to facilitate the smooth implementation and linkage of the home medical care project, and Seocho Agape Clinic will provide home consultation and medical services to elderly people eligible for long-term care grades based on its experience in the primary medical home visit pilot project and the pilot project for health doctors for the disabled.
Mayor Jeon Seong-su said, "With this agreement, we expect that elderly people with mobility difficulties will be able to receive medical services comfortably at their own homes without having to enter facilities such as nursing homes," and added, "We will continue to make efforts so that elderly people can spend a healthy and happy old age."
