Preparation of application documents for installation reports of home-care welfare facilities and designation of long-term care institutions

A home visit care center is an in-home senior welfare facility under Article 38 of the Welfare of Senior Citizens Act that provides home visit care, home visit bathing, home visit nursing, day and night care, short-term care and similar services to older people at home. After filing an in-home senior welfare facility installation report with the city, county or district, it must pass the long-term care institution designation review under Article 31 of the Act on Long-Term Care Insurance for Senior Citizens to provide services to long-term care beneficiaries and claim benefits. Day and night care and short-term care require a total floor area of 90㎡ or more, in-home senior support services require an exclusive area of 33㎡ or more, and the designation has a validity period that must be renewed before expiry.
