Seven Additional Facilities for Severely Disabled Adults to Be Built

Gyeonggi Province announced on the 7th that it will construct seven additional long-term care facilities for severely disabled adults.

Long-term care facilities for the severely disabled are facilities that admit individuals with severe disabilities who require constant assistance and provide treatment and care services. Currently, 3,673 residents live in 54 such facilities across the province.

However, taking into account that there are 16,000 disabled persons requiring protection in the province, the province has decided to establish seven facilities this year and plans to accept applications from eight cities and counties, including Suwon, Anyang, and Gwangmyeong, where such facilities do not currently exist.

The province plans to provide full funding of 6.9 billion won—9.8 hundred million won per facility—when local corporations or local government entities in the relevant regions submit applications that meet the establishment criteria.
