Problem

When working adults aged 48–58 obtain a long-term care grade for their parents (aged 70–80), there are over 10 additional benefits they can apply for based on the grade—including comprehensive elderly care services, emergency welfare support, municipal care allowances, Dementia Care Center programs, assistive device subsidies, and home modification grants. These are administered by different agencies (National Health Insurance Service, municipal governments, Dementia Care Centers, Veterans Affairs, etc.) with varying application deadlines. In practice, over 40% of long-term care recipients miss additional benefits due to lack of awareness or expired deadlines, with the annual value of missed benefits reaching 2–5 million won (~$1,500–$3,750).

Solution

Users input their parent's long-term care grade, residential area, income bracket, and veteran status to retrieve all eligible additional benefits at once. The system organizes each benefit's application deadline, required documents, and responsible agency contact information, then sends D-day deadline alerts via KakaoTalk/SMS. Push notifications are also sent when new programs are created or existing ones are modified.

Target: Ages 48–58, working professionals caring for parents aged 70–80, holding or about to apply for a long-term care grade, sharing caregiving duties with siblings
Revenue Model: Basic benefits lookup is Free. Monthly Subscription (deadline alerts + policy change notifications + document checklist) at 2,900 won (~$2.15)/month. B2B licensing to municipal governments and welfare centers.
