【Summary】
Taiwan has entered a senior society in 2018. Under the goals "Local aging" and "Aging in place"of Long-Term Care 2.0 (LTC 2.0), we participated in the prevention and delay of disability health care plan and implemented it in dementia care center and the community point C, for people with mild to moderate dementia and disability. The study points out that TCM health exercise such as Baduanjin and Tai Chi are mostly low-intensity exercise, which can adjust the body and mind, benefit the quality of life and strengthen cognitive ability. We take Chinese medicine health care as the core and combine other professional experts in rehabilitation, speech, nutrition, etc. to carry out a plan to prevent and delay disability care. After three periods a year in 2019, 159 people in the community, dementia and disability group are included the group participates in this program activity.
Post-activity analysis of the results, Study of Osteoporotic Fractures (SOF) assessment has a significant improvement in dementia group, and there is also a reduction in risk in nursing care; In addition, Kihon Checklist (KCL) criteria dementia group has a significant reduction both in the risk of social distress and cognitive function after the activity. The general disability group had a significant reduction in depression risk after the activity. We think that the implementation of this program is helpful in reducing the risk of cognition, socialization and depression. It requires more design discussion and research on the evaluation of daily living and physical strength.
