Pyeongtaek-si Dementia Safety Center Operates Family Program for Dementia Patients

The Dementia Safety Center in Pyeongtaek-si, Gyeonggi-do announced on the 24th that it will promote family support projects to strengthen the caregiving capabilities of families of patients with mild cognitive impairment and dementia, and to improve their quality of life.

To this end, the center will hold a 'self-help group' meeting for families of dementia patients once a month. The 'self-help group' is a program designed to reduce the psychological burden on families of dementia patients and prevent social isolation. Through meetings among families, they share experiences with dementia patients and exchange new information and caregiving know-how from others. Various healing programs such as crafts, art, and music are also provided during the meetings.
