Improving Dementia Awareness and Reducing Stigma through Dementia Safety Franchise Store

[Asia Economy Honam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Kim Chunsu] Damyang-gun, Jeollanam-do announced on the 9th that Damyang Jongno Pharmacy (Pharmacist Park Chansik) and Damyang Good Morning Hearing Aid (Director Yang Haejeong) have been newly designated as dementia-safe franchise stores leading the fight against dementia.

A dementia-safe franchise store refers to a franchise where all members of a private business receive dementia partner training and actively participate in building a dense dementia safety net in the local community.

Dementia-safe franchise stores play a role in creating a dementia-friendly atmosphere by considering elderly people with dementia, providing dementia-related information, promptly reporting and temporarily protecting wandering patients, participating in campaigns and volunteer activities, raising awareness of dementia, and actively engaging in dementia overcoming projects.

The newly designated Damyang Jongno Pharmacy and Good Morning Hearing Aid have all employees who completed dementia partner training, and will collaborate with the Damyang-gun Dementia Safety Center to promote various dementia overcoming activities in the future.

A county official said, “We hope that various social entities will participate in efforts to overcome dementia, raising more interest in dementia and creating an opportunity to work together.”

Private businesses wishing to join the dementia-safe franchise stores can inquire at the Damyang-gun Dementia Safety Center, and any questions about dementia can be consulted 24 hours a day at the Dementia Counseling Call Center.
