View original image[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Hyun] Haenam-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 22nd that, due to the suspension of the dementia patient shelter operation and family support programs at the Dementia Safety Center caused by the spread of COVID-19, it has been operating a home-visit learning program for dementia patients since the 17th to minimize care gaps.
To this end, the "Brain Smart Cognitive Enhancement Kit" is being distributed to support cognitive enhancement activities so that elderly dementia patients can easily practice brain training at home.
The cognitive enhancement kit consists of adult memory coloring for brain exercise, a silver cognitive training workbook, a magnetic tangram playbook, colored pencils, and more.
The Brain Smart Home-Visit Learning program targets approximately 1,490 home-based dementia patients in the area, with town and township officials visiting them in rotation to explain how to use the kit. In addition, they will check on personal hygiene management, including COVID-19 prevention guidelines.
