Foundation to improve dementia care service
Print Edition
BETTER days lie ahead for the city’s 200,000 dementia patients, thanks to a newly established foundation dedicated to improving training for carers and raising sufferers’ overall quality of life.
The foundation opened yesterday in anticipation of today’s national Charity Day with lectures organized in all 16 districts of the city.
About 7 percent of citizens over the age of 60 suffer some form of dementia, and the rate increases among more senior citizens. Attending to their special needs is a major task for old-age services.
The new foundation will train specialist carers for dementia patients, help patients’ families to cope, and work to raise awareness of the condition among the general public.
Specialized clinics have been set up in health care facilities including Huadong Hospital and Shanghai Mental Health Center. More than 1,000 new beds are promised this year.
Shanghai No. 3 Elderly Home opened the first senile dementia care center last year, followed by a number of other care homes around the city.
