Jangan-gu Pajang-dong Volunteers at Municipal Senior Care Facility

On the 31st of last month, all staff members of Pajang-dong in Jangan-gu visited Suwon Municipal Senior Care Facility (Director Kim Young-gi) to conduct volunteer activities, sharing warmth and compassion through regular service initiatives aimed at supporting vulnerable residents and welfare facilities in blind spots of social welfare.

Suwon Municipal Senior Care Facility, located in Pajang-dong, is home to approximately 140 elderly residents suffering from age-related diseases such as stroke and dementia. Under the operational motto of "Treat seniors as our own parents," the facility provides medical and rehabilitation services as well as warm and bright welfare services that respect human dignity to seniors in need of care.

This volunteer activity, following last year's initiative, is being independently carried out as part of community service efforts. Staff members spent four fulfilling hours engaging in various activities including interior cleaning and tablecloth laundering for a pleasant environment, organizing laundry such as clothing and diapers, meal service assistance, and companionship conversation with lonely elderly residents.

Choi Kwang-san, a staff member of Pajang-dong, said, "While providing meal service to seniors with limited mobility, I felt a bittersweet emotion as if I were attending to my late parents," and added, "I hope to frequently visit the seniors who spend all day in one space so they won't feel lonely, and I want to continue this volunteer work consistently."

Jang Su-seok, the Chief of Pajang-dong, stated, "I will make active efforts to identify welfare blind spots within Pajang-dong and ensure volunteer activities are conducted in places where practical assistance is truly needed."
