Gwacheon City Establishes Public-Private Cooperation System Ahead of Integrated Care Service Implementation

[Suwon Ilbo=Reporter Yu Je-sung] Gwacheon City signed business agreements with integrated care service providers at the mayor's office on the 12th.

The agreement was established to build a cooperation system among local care resources so that citizens in need of care can receive services without interruption ahead of the integrated care system's implementation on the 27th.

Four institutions participated in the agreement: Gwacheon Senior Welfare Center, Sarangnabi Social Cooperative, Hyundai Green Food Co., Ltd., and Mindalpaengi Cooperative.

The city will refer integrated care service recipients to the service providers and oversee project operations and service quality management, while the service providers will implement the agreed provisions including operation of service delivery personnel, safety management, personal information protection, and results reporting.

Going forward, the city plans to provide care services necessary for daily living—including housekeeping support, mobility assistance, hygiene support, meal support, and housing support—tailored to each recipient's needs through the integrated care system.

Meanwhile, the integrated care service will be implemented nationwide starting on the 27th, and applications and guidance can be obtained at Administrative Welfare Centers by address.

Mayor Shin Gye-yong stated, "It is meaningful that we have established a public-private cooperation system ahead of the integrated care system's implementation," adding, "We will do our utmost to ensure citizens in need of care can experience services in their daily lives through service coordination and provision."
