‘More Enjoyable Autumn Picnic Together’ … Goryeong County Nursing Hospital Dementia Relief Center

Goryeong-gun, Gyeongbuk Province (Governor Lee Nam-chul) held an event to wrap up the year while feeling the autumn atmosphere at the auditorium and lawn square within the Dasan-myeon Administrative Complex Town, together with dementia patients and their families using the 2023 Dasan Short-Term Dementia Shelter, as well as residents of the Healthy Village.

Goryeong-gun Public Nursing Hospital and Dementia Relief Center held an autumn outing at Dasan-myeon Healthy Village.

At this event, activities included operating a Youth Photo Studio, making healthy snacks (fruit cups) using ingredients for dementia prevention, singing old songs to the accompaniment of guitar performances, and playing games as recreational activities. Additionally, in cooperation with Goryeong County Nursing Hospital, a promotional campaign was conducted to raise awareness about dementia.

This Youth Photo Studio was linked with the Healthy Village Creation Project, where the village health keeper (Oh Nam-jin) represented the village to conduct recreational activities for residents, and members of the Korean Photographers Association Goryeong Branch volunteered their talents for photography.

A participant (Mr. Lee) said, “I cried wearing a school uniform again after several decades. I returned to being a student for a day, went on an autumn picnic, took photos, and I thank the dementia safety center teachers and health center staff for creating such good memories.”
