History & Yuli as a Second Home Originally caring for veterans, this hospital transitioned into a home for refractory psychiatric patients. Due to chronic symptoms and weak family support, returning to society is difficult. Most residents spend their lives here, making Yuli Town their true second home.

Job training is also offered to help aging residents maintain functions and rebuild self-confidence.
