Changnyeong-eup Resident Autonomy Council Installs 'Remote-Controlled Lights' for Senior Households
The Changnyeong-eup Resident Autonomy Council in Changnyeong-gun, Gyeongsangnam-do, has carried out a special outreach activity to help local seniors live safer and more convenient lives. The council recently visited the homes of seniors with limited mobility to install LED lights that can be operated by remote control.
This project was planned for seniors who are at risk of falling when moving around to turn the lights on or off at night. Remote-controlled lights allow them to easily adjust the lighting while lying in bed, which is expected to be a great help in preventing fall accidents among the elderly.
One senior who received the lights expressed their gratitude, saying, "It was scary and difficult to get up every night to turn off the lights, but I am so happy that I can now easily adjust the lighting with a remote control."
A representative from the Changnyeong-eup Resident Autonomy Council stated, "We will continue to carefully look after neighbors in need within our local community and carry out various welfare activities so that residents can live more safely and happily."
This activity serves as a good example of 'resident-led welfare,' where local residents identify and resolve the inconveniences of their neighbors themselves. Changnyeong-eup plans to continue expanding customized support projects for vulnerable social groups.
