particular, the number of senior citizens receiving special care at home as well as institutional facilities is expected to soar, which also indicates growing possibilities of cracks in the system. Under the circumstances, the Commission decided to visit three nursing homes, the House of Francesco in in Jeonnam (August 16) and Hansarng Silvertown Care Center for the Elderly and Hanul Care Center in Gawngju Metropolitan City (August 23 & 24) and investigated their overall operation. The result found amenities and equipments were relatively well-maintained, but outdoor area for activities was insufficient. Most notably, caring and managing patients with dementia was found to be inadequate. Dementia patients often received the same treatment as regular patients in complete disregard of their special conditions or were even mistreated. Citing the tendency of dementia patients to ‘wander off’ as a safety concern and need for ‘protection’, there was a risk of the ‘protection’ turning into a forced confinement. To prevent the problem, a regulatory guideline such as enforcing a requirement for a side walk or outdoor space as a condition for regulatory approval should be considered. Caring of dementia patients should be reviewed and handled more comprehensively considering the direct impact it has on working conditions of caregivers. The Commission plans to analyze the results more in detail, review related data, and make necessary recommendations later on. C.
