Uiwang City Opens Senior Community Center at KT Isariea Apartment

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Kim Chung-young] Uiwang City held an opening ceremony for the Senior Community Center at KT Isariea Apartment in Ojeon-dong on the 23rd.

Approximately 50 people attended the ceremony, including Mayor Kim Seong-je of Uiwang City, Song Jong-hun, chair of the Uiwang branch of the Korea Senior Association, Moon Bong-soon, chair of the KT Isariea Apartment Senior Community Center, and local residents, celebrating the opening and encouraging the efforts made thus far.

KT Isariea Apartment in Ojeon-dong, which was completed in 2004, had not previously had a senior community center. However, through continued efforts since last year to fulfill the wishes of elderly residents and provide a comfortable retreat space for resident seniors, the center has finally come to fruition.

For the opening of the senior community center, the residents' council and management office provided support for interior finishing work, flooring, sink replacement, and opening ceremony supplies. The city provided massage chairs, karaoke systems, fax machines, traditional Korean games equipment, air conditioners, and kimchi refrigerators to establish a foundation for enriching leisure activities and senior welfare services.

Mayor Kim Seong-je of Uiwang City stated, “I will continue to pay close attention and make efforts so that the KT Isariea Apartment Senior Community Center can serve as a comfortable sanctuary for the health promotion and social exchange of our seniors.”
