Service content and application method
There are designated hospitals nationwide that provide integrated nursing and caregiving services, but hospitals that provide services have separate wards so that privately employed caregivers or guardians do not reside, and the standards for visiting patients are a bit stricter.
If a guardian wants to reside in the ward, he/she must obtain consent by filling out a ‘guardian resident request form’ from the hospital medical staff, and only the guardian who has received the pass can enter and leave the ward. Visiting hours are also set, so you can visit only between 6:00 and 8:00 PM on weekdays, 10:00 AM and 12:00 PM, and 6:00 PM to 8:00 PM on weekends and public holidays.
Although the number of hospitals providing integrated nursing and nursing services is rather small, you can search for hospitals in your area from the ‘Hospitals for Integrated Nursing and Nursing Care’ menu on the National Health Insurance Corporation (www.nhis.or.kr).
