Instead of a predetermined program, the center gives patients the opportunity to select the activities and services they desire. In contrast to normal centers, it also has a cafe and a bar.
These services are crucial to end-of-life care, which is a focus topic for the Ministry of Health. To help people maintain their quality of life even in their final days and pass away well, he said, "We hope to enhance end-of-life care."
