※Geriatric Medicine Ward: The Geriatric Medicine Ward is designed with a barrier-free environment and flow design that caters to the needs of the elderly. The ward is equipped with handrails, message boards, reading glasses, communication aids, and a dedicated geriatric rehabilitation room. Emphasis is placed on care quality, and education materials are designed to meet the needs of older persons, with large font sizes and clear content. Fall prevention education is also provided, and a discharge preparation service is available.
