Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center Takes Action to Prevent Elderly Safety Accidents Through Puppet Shows

The Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center visited an elderly care facility in Hwaseong on the 24th to present a puppet show focused on preventing fall accidents.

The Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center is the first in the nation to conduct elderly safety accident prevention education through puppet shows.

Since February, the center has been visiting day and night elderly care facilities in the province twice a month, providing education and magic shows on fire response procedures, prevention of daily safety accidents, hand washing, and more for the elderly and facility staff. On the 25th, it announced plans to introduce puppet shows as well.

The puppet show features grandmother and grandson puppets, designed to naturally teach the risks of falls in daily life and prevention methods through their conversations.

Hwang Eun-sik, director of the Gyeonggi-do National Safety Experience Center, said, "We first presented the puppet show on the 24th at an elderly care facility in Hwaseong, and surprisingly, the elderly responded very positively," adding, "We also gave out non-slip socks as gifts."
