Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the status of the dementia prevention programs, dementia support centers, and elderly welfare centers in major metropolitan cities to acquire data for future program development and dissemination and the specialization of dementia prevention personnel. Methods: Data were gathered through internet surveys and telephone questionnaires from 15 special demented elderly care centers and elderly welfare centers registered in five metropolitan cities from June 27 to Oct 25, 2016. Results: Dementia care programs were available at 15 centers. Seoul City was running the most diverse dementia programs, and all five cities were spending a significant amount of time on the cognitive therapy program within several dementia programs. In addition, many social workers hosted the program and the frequency of social welfare work was three times a week. Conclusion: To increase the dementia prevention policies' efficiency, an understanding of dementia has already been established. Experts who can provide client-centered, problem-solving programs will play the role of physical therapists and occupational therapists. However, more research is needed.
