At the event held in Dongam Village, Boseong, health services such as blood pressure and blood sugar checks, dementia screening, and Korean medicine treatments were provided, along with customized welfare services like kiosk education, hairdressing, and nail art.

In addition, seniors who have limited access to cultural activities responded enthusiastically to performances of pansori and movie screenings.
