This project was carried out by an integrated case manager who intervened in a 70 -year-old single elderly person whose living environment was vulnerable, after discovering it through monitoring and consulting on single elderly households receiving welfare .

Afterwards, for several years, the elderly person had been living alone without any interaction with his family or those around him, and was feeling helpless and helpless in maintaining hygiene , health, and daily life. He applied for a long-term care level and was connected to a caregiver .
