District Dementia Safety Center and Eunpyeong Police Station Operate Safety Counseling and Missing Prevention Services
Eunpyeong-gu (Mayor Kim Mi-kyung) is launching support services to prevent the increasing number of missing dementia patients each year.
The Eunpyeong-gu Dementia Safety Center offers various free missing prevention services to prevent wandering-related disappearances of elderly dementia patients and to support their prompt discovery and return if they go missing.
The services provided include fingerprint pre-registration with the National Police Agency, provision of wandering identification tags, rental of wristwatch-type location trackers, and guidance on the dementia check app’s wandering detection service.
Applications for the services can be made by phone to the Eunpyeong-gu Dementia Safety Center. Depending on the condition and needs of the dementia patient, necessary services can be selected individually or in combination for support.
Fingerprint pre-registration can also be done at the police station. In cooperation with the Eunpyeong Police Station, police officers regularly visit the Eunpyeong-gu Dementia Safety Center once a month to provide safety counseling and fingerprint pre-registration services.
Additionally, the district plans to post banners on the streets and conduct campaign activities to promote the missing prevention services.
A guardian of a dementia patient who used the services said, “After receiving a dementia diagnosis, I was always worried about wandering symptoms, but after registering fingerprints myself, I feel much more at ease.”
