[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters Reporter Dongguk Lee] Ulsan Ulju-gun Dementia Safety Center provides early dementia screening visits linked with the 'Visiting Screening Bus Tayo' for local residents.
This visiting screening was prepared to increase the stagnant screening rate, which was limited due to COVID-19 restrictions on connections with related organizations such as senior centers and welfare centers for the elderly, and to proactively discover new dementia cases.
Dementia, if detected and treated early, can alleviate symptoms and slow progression, so it is important to conduct regular early dementia screenings for management.
The center conducts diagnostic and differential tests for those with cognitive decline, and if finally diagnosed with dementia, registers them as subjects to provide integrated management services.
Subjects can receive various services such as care supplies, dementia treatment management fees, case management, and shelter operation according to income criteria.
For detailed information about the screening, contact the Ulju-gun Dementia Safety Center.
The head of the Ulju-gun Dementia Safety Center said, "It is most important to detect dementia early and manage it to prevent worsening," and added, "We plan to visit and conduct screenings wherever early dementia screening is needed to promote dementia prevention and convenience for local residents in the community."
