Neofect Opens Long Life Elder Garden Dongbaek Branch... "Providing Dementia Rehabilitation Program Incorporating VR Technology"

[Asia Economy Reporter Hyunseok Yoo] NeoFect, a company specializing in innovative medical solutions, announced on the 13th that it has opened the Yongin Dongbaek branch of its subsidiary Long Life Green Care’s premium day and night care center brand, ‘Long Life Elder Garden.’

Long Life Elder Garden is a premium brand newly launched by Long Life Green Care to provide excellent facilities and more specialized silver care services. The Yongin Dongbaek branch, opening this time, is the flagship center of Long Life Elder Garden and the largest facility nationwide.

Using NeoFect’s rehabilitation training devices such as Smart Glove, Smart Board, Smart Pegboard, Smart Balance, as well as Smart Table and Comcog for cognitive rehabilitation training, a regular program has been organized to conduct rehabilitation exercises together with physical therapists. A cognitive care program is provided to prevent symptom deterioration and improve symptoms such as mild dementia or cognitive decline by utilizing metaverse-based VR dementia rehabilitation content.

The VR dementia rehabilitation content was developed jointly by NeoFect and the rehabilitation medicine research team at Seoul National University Hospital. It consists of games that create a familiar and comfortable environment where elderly people can feel nostalgic, such as gardening and orchard care. By wearing VR glasses and Smart Gloves together, cognitive function improvement can be expected through training such as growing vegetables or picking fruits in the virtual game environment on the screen.

A representative of Long Life Elder Garden said, “The biggest feature of Long Life Elder Garden is the various customized programs created in cooperation with NeoFect,” adding, “In particular, we plan to further upgrade the digitalization of the day and night care center through this VR dementia rehabilitation program.”

At Long Life Elder Garden Dongbaek branch, professional social workers and care assistants establish the most suitable care plans for the elderly through detailed consultations, and dedicated food chefs prepare elderly-specific meals using eco-friendly ingredients. In addition, various landscaping facilities are applied so that the elderly can enjoy light walks and rest even within the center. Movie viewing rooms for the elderly’s entertainment and regular beauty and grooming services are also provided.

Ban Hoyoung, CEO of NeoFect, said, “The reason Long Life Elder Garden is attracting attention in the industry is because of its branding through integration with NeoFect technology,” and added, “Through the differentiated silver care services provided by Long Life Elder Garden, we aim to set a new standard for day and night care centers so that the elderly can recover healthy and happy lives.”
