Mechanisms to Support Elderly People with Dementia

Dementia is a brain "disease" of the brain that interferes with life due to various causes. It is said that the incidence increases from the age of 65, and one in four people over 85 years old. There is also juvenile dementia that occurs in young people under the age of 65.
Seya Ward is implementing a variety of initiatives to help people live in the community with peace of mind even if they have dementia.

In Seya Ward, regular family doctors work with hospitals and clinics specializing in dementia to prescribe medical examinations and medicines.
When consulting with your GP about dementia, you can tell your GP accurately if you write down your concerns and symptoms in "Let's go to a" family doctor "with this".

When an elderly person with dementia goes missing, it is a mechanism to cooperate in finding and protecting as soon as possible. This is a system that supports the elderly with dementia and their families together with local residents, including the Seya police department, the Regional Comprehensive Support Center, and transportation, as well as cooperating organizations such as shops, post offices, nursing care facilities, and caravan mates.
