New home service program for the elderly

October 15, 2026

The government is planning to implement a mobile unit to provide services to the elderly, aiming to meet their needs. Social workers and nurses will visit the elderly at home for support and medical care. The program is set to start on January 1, 2027, and aims to prevent isolation and enhance the emotional well-being of the elderly. A key issue is connecting the elderly with the services they require. The initial evaluation of the program's implementation will take place after three months.
