Ulju-gun opens western branch of dementia care center

The West Ulju Branch of the Ulju-gun Dementia Care Center in Ulsan opened Monday at the Open Health Care Center in Eonyang-eup, Ulju-gun, offering dementia prevention services to residents in the county's western areas.

Residents in the western region had previously been forced to travel to dementia care centers in other areas, such as Ungchon and Beomseo, to access related services.

The branch is equipped with consultation rooms and program facilities, and will provide early dementia screening, counseling and registration management for dementia patients, dementia prevention classes, and support guidance for patients and their families. Those seeking more information can contact the Ulju-gun Dementia Care Center or the West Ulju Branch directly.

An official at the Ulju-gun Dementia Care Center said the opening of the branch for western residents would help build a healthier community by bringing dementia management services closer to local residents.
