[Asia Economy Reporter Park Jong-il] Gangnam-gu (District Mayor Jung Soon-gyun) will introduce various dementia policies of the district, including the ‘Dementia Safety One-Stop Service,’ at the ‘Dementia Forum X Korea’ held from the 25th to the 27th at COEX in Samseong-dong.
‘Dementia Forum X’ is an international dementia forum that began in 2015 at the Swedish royal court, and this year it is held in Korea under the theme of ‘New Hope.’
Gangnam-gu plans to introduce its self-operated ‘Dementia Safety One-Stop Service’ at this forum. This service is a customized program for dementia prevention and management, including family counseling through professionals, early screening, cognitive rehabilitation programs, and shelter provision.
During the event, an exhibition will be held featuring artworks directly painted by elderly participants who took art therapy classes at the Gangnam-gu Dementia Safety Center. In particular, a ‘Memory Tree Embracing Hope’ will be installed to comfort dementia patients and their families, allowing visitors to write and hang supportive messages.
Gangnam-gu plans to establish a ‘Well-Aging Center’ in the first half of next year to operate ▲ strengthening cognitive health of the elderly through digital therapy ▲ prevention and management of dementia and cardiovascular diseases ▲ nutrition classes for cardiovascular and dementia prevention ▲ cultural programs for a ‘Dignified Old Age.’
