Why do we want to pay special attention to the elderly and families with special needs?
- The last mile of life requires care, the gospel, and the assurance of eternal life
- The children and family members who have served for a long time are very stressed and need to change hands regularly
- In the final stage, the family is difficult to take care of the elders and needs more counseling to handle the various situations
- Many elderly people and families around us are already gradually facing this problem
Mode of operation:
In November, start the pilot with DCFC elders, learn, improve and adjust the relevant details, and the gradual expansion of the service scope began in February 2022.
