In order to protect the rights of senior citizen, the Commission carried out field investigations on care centers for the elderly for the 3rd time this year, reviewed field implications and limits of long-term care insurance for the elderly, and found that senior patients suffering dementia were not managed effectively. The Commission plans to make necessary policy recommendations after reviewing the results. Furthermore, the Commission operated the Guardian of the Rights of the Elderly in 4 regions across the nation, and conducted monitoring of job searching service for the elderly, support service for senior citizen living alone and their leisure activities as well as counseling for the elderly living alone and caregivers, in which process it laid the foundation to integrate elderly-oriented perspectives in projects to advance their human rights. In addition, while reinforcing education on human rights of the elderly by offering advanced courses for instructors on senior’s human rights and courses to raise human rights awareness for those operating long-term care centers for the elderly and related government officials, the Commission worked hard to advance rights of senior citizen and enhance public awareness in this field.
