Mechanisms to watch in the community

One of the symptoms of dementia is "wandering" in which you leave home and lose your way because you lose your way when you are or where your home is. The Asahi Ward Wandering SOS Network System is a system that monitors people who are wandering due to dementia throughout the Asahi Ward and safely return them to their families as soon as possible.
