[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Choi Soon-kyung] Hapcheon-gun, Gyeongnam announced on the 9th that following the completion of the elderly-friendly safety and environment improvement project aimed at dementia management, a series of reopening ceremonies will be held sequentially in November at a total of six dementia-safe villages, starting with the first dementia-safe village in Jungjeokpo, Cheongdeok-myeon.
The dementia-safe villages in Hapcheon-gun have been designated since 2019, beginning with Jungjeokpo in Cheongdeok-myeon and Deokjeong Village in Daeyang-myeon, followed by Sanghyeon Village in Bongsan-myeon, Gwansu Village in Ssangchaek-myeon, Sorye Village in Cheongdeok-myeon, and Baegam Village in Daeyang-myeon, totaling six villages.
The dementia-safe (Memory Filling) villages aim to realize a ‘dementia-friendly safe community’ that enhances the quality of life for dementia patients and their families and helps maintain daily living by spreading correct understanding and awareness of dementia.
The Hapcheon-gun Dementia Safety Center has actively promoted projects such as elderly-friendly safety and environment improvement, dementia prevention and cognitive enhancement program operation, and the establishment of a dementia safety network.
As part of the elderly-friendly safety and environment improvement project, old wallpaper, flooring, lighting, and shoe racks in senior centers were replaced, anti-slip stairs were installed, and murals and shadow lighting at village entrances were created to foster a bright atmosphere and improve awareness of dementia.
