Mechanisms to watch in the community
Last update date June 1, 2023
Asahi Ward Wandering SOS Network System
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.

Places for people with dementia and their families
Gathering of caregivers and dementia cafe
In the area where the caregiver and their families lived, we introduce caregivers' gatherings and dementia cafes so that they can maintain local connections and continue living with peace of mind forever.
Gathering of caregivers and dementia cafes are places where caregivers can talk about their worries and anxiety, exchange information, and people with dementia can have fun and calm time with others.
You can find where you can participate in Asahi Ward.
