[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] The Dementia Safety Center at Hapcheon-gun Public Health Center in Gyeongnam provided the second round of the 'Non-face-to-face Service for Dementia Seniors' by mail to home-based dementia seniors to alleviate their sense of isolation caused by the novel coronavirus infection (COVID-19).

The 'Non-face-to-face Service for Dementia Seniors' is a service provided by the Dementia Safety Center to minimize the sense of isolation and management gaps for dementia seniors due to COVID-19, with the first round provided on January 13.

Subsequently, mail kits consisting of KF94 masks for daily quarantine, herbal patches, and vitamin C for health management were delivered to the homes of 1,542 home-based dementia seniors.

The Dementia Safety Center plans to continue providing non-face-to-face services quarterly for home-based dementia seniors until COVID-19 is eradicated, and is conducting a 'Brain Home Training Service' monthly as a non-face-to-face service for cognitive rehabilitation of shelter program participants.

Lee Mi-kyung, director of Hapcheon-gun Public Health Center, said, "The thank-you calls from the seniors give us great fulfillment and a heavy sense of responsibility as we carry out this project." She added, "We will do our best to ensure that there are no gaps in dementia management for seniors that may arise due to the prolonged COVID-19 pandemic."
