SOS network for elderly people with dementia Konan Ward

Depending on the symptoms of dementia, you may get lost because you don't know where you are on the go or where your home is.
Over a long period of time, the risk of dehydration, traffic accidents, and injuries caused by falls increases.
The SOS network is a mechanism to detect and protect elderly people with dementia as soon as possible when they go missing. The ward office and police department, community care plazas and public transportation will work together to ensure that elderly people with dementia and their families continue to live in a familiar area with peace of mind.

By pre-registering the characteristics and photos of the person, when missing, you can request a cooperating organization such as transportation to discover cooperation based on the registration information. Pre-registration can be done at the ward office or community care plaza.
