Holt Ilsan Center

Holt Ilsan Center supports our residents what they want to do by themselves to derive their potentiality and ability through various rehabilitation to restore their physical and intellectual functions.

Holt Ilsan Center opened with a name "Holt Ilsan Welfare Town" in 1961 as a child welfare institution and has been working for children who could not be adopted and have the disability for about 40 years.
Now, more than 70 percent of the 200 residents have become adults over the age of 18, and 85 percent of the total population is composed of residents with severe mental retardation and brain disorder.
Therefore, we needed to provide professional service for each resident as permanent care so we divided Holt Ilsan Home (Nursing Care Home for the severely handicapped persons) and Holt Ilsan Welfare Town (Facility for the rehabilitation of mentally retarded persons) in Jan.
1st, 1999. Holt School, a special education institution, was founded for education of the disable children in 1975, Holt Workshop opened in 1987, where could help the disabled prepare for the society.
Furthermore, there are therapy center, Holt Gym and Holt Clinic.
The warm heart of Harry Holt who wanted to become a special town for each resident is melting in the entire center.

Vision

Ultimately, we hope every resident being independent from the center and have family in local community. Holt Ilsan Center hopes home life, not a facility.

Supporting a Village

However, we are not satisfied with the present and actively support to be more advanced and comfortable. We also support our residents to participate in local community. Holt Ilsan Center is a village, not a living facility.
