Mechanisms to Support Elderly People with Dementia
Dementia is a brain "illness" that interferes with life due to various causes. It is said that the incidence of the disease increases from the age of 65 and over, and that one in four people develops the disease over the age of 85. There is also juvenile dementia that occurs in young people under the age of 65. Seya Ward has implemented various initiatives to ensure that people can live safely in the community even if they have dementia.
