[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kang Sharon] On the 10th, the Geoje City Dementia Safety Center in Gyeongnam designated Saejangseungpo Home Care Welfare Center and Together Neighborhood Co., Ltd. as dementia overcoming leading organizations and presented plaques.

The dementia overcoming leading organization designation project takes the lead in dementia prevention through regular education on dementia and acts as a companion to understand and support families of dementia patients in the local community.

Before this designation, the two organizations plan to complete training for all employees, foster and operate professional volunteers, promote mutual exchange and cooperation with dementia organizations, and carry out various dementia overcoming activities.

Currently, a total of 25 companies, organizations, and libraries in Geoje City have been designated as dementia overcoming leading organizations.

An official stated, "Since it is difficult to prevent and overcome dementia by the strength of individuals and families alone, we hope that through this project, all residents of the city will become a reliable social family for dementia patients, showing interest and participation."

Meanwhile, the Geoje City Dementia Safety Center is implementing dementia screening, dementia patient registration management, support for dementia treatment expenses, dementia prevention education, operation of rest centers, and family support projects.
