Project Description: WeiAiLun Academy, located in Changhua City, is the first day-care center for the people with dementia. It is built to provide service for people who are over 50 years old, suffering from dementia, and living nearby Changhua City. WeiAiLun Academy aims to help look after the elder with dementia in the daytime so that their family have the time to take a break or go out to work. In addition, WeiAiLun Academy hopes that the elder can receive professional and perfect care, interact and learn with each other, and then retard their condition of dementia. In this way, the elder with dementia can age locally and actively.
