Paldal-gu Pinning 'Health and Happiness' Carnations

Paldal-gu (District Chief Yoon Gun-mo) visited the Suwon Long-term Care Support Center on the 8th for Parents' Day and held a 'Health and Happiness' carnation pinning event.

As average life expectancy continues to increase, the event served as an opportunity to boost the will to live among elderly residents in care facilities who live in solitude and loneliness by pinning carnations on them, and further to convey the beautiful tradition of filial piety and sharing love and affection with neighbors.

District Chief Yoon Gun-mo and price monitoring volunteers from Paldal-gu participated in the event, serving as conversational companions for the elderly residents, and the event became an occasion to promote the concept of living together with neighbors, a people-friendly humane city, and a healthy Paldal-gu.

District Chief Yoon Gun-mo said, "Recently, as the family's function in caring for the elderly has gradually diminished due to the prevalence of nuclear families and increased female workforce participation, facility-centered elderly welfare continues to grow, but it has limitations in narrow beneficiary scope and providing only post-treatment services, making it necessary to expand and supplement home-based elderly welfare," and added, "The true meaning of welfare is to ensure that the remaining years of the elderly proceed smoothly."
