Agreement with welfare centers; coordinators deployed starting in June<\/p>\n

Tailored care for seniors and people with disabilities<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"Signing\n<\/div>\n

Gwangmyeong City will deploy AIP (Aging in Place) coordinators in the field to help seniors and people with disabilities maintain healthy lives at home rather than in institutions.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

On the 12th, Gwangmyeong City signed a memorandum of understanding in the city hall video conference room with the Cheolsan Comprehensive Social Welfare Center and the Gwangmyeong Disability Comprehensive Welfare Center to launch the AIP coordinator service.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

The AIP coordinator service assigns dedicated staff to manage the full integrated-care process\u2014from surveying care recipients and assessing needs to requesting services and overseeing implementation.<\/p>\n

Coordinators will conduct comprehensive assessments of each recipient\u2019s health, living conditions, and care requirements, then connect them to the welfare services they need.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Under the agreement, the two welfare centers will assign dedicated coordinators beginning in June.<\/p>\n

Six coordinators in total will divide the city\u2019s 19 administrative neighborhoods into three zones, with two coordinators assigned to each zone to focus on seniors aged 65 and older who require complex care.<\/p>\n

The remaining two coordinators will connect tailored integrated-care services for severely disabled people under 65 and for older adults with disabilities.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Gwangmyeong City expects that involving welfare centers\u2014organizations that have long communicated closely with local residents\u2014as implementing partners will make it easier to identify and support eligible individuals on the ground.<\/p>\n

The city also expects this initiative to accelerate the development of a community-based integrated-care system by better linking public and private welfare resources.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Acting Mayor Choi Hye-min said, \u201cThe core of community integrated care is supporting residents who need assistance so they can continue their daily lives in familiar surroundings.\u201d Choi added, \u201cWe will closely monitor each resident\u2019s needs and build a robust care network so people can continue to live safely and healthily in the places they call home.\u201d<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, Gwangmyeong was selected in Gyeonggi Province\u2019s \u201c365 Safety Link Project\u201d competition and is advancing five core initiatives, including the AIP coordinator service, visiting care physicians, return-to-daily-life care homes, treatment stations, and community care gardens.<\/p>\n
