Caring for Dementia Patients

Yuanta Funds and Yuanta Futures have always been concerned about dementia in middle-aged and senior citizens, and have launched a series of events to care for the elderly. In 2022, we partnered with the Social Welfare Foundation of Wisdom, and volunteers from Yuanta learned to interact with elders with declining cognitive functions at the Church of Revival. Guided by professionals, our volunteers accompanied the elderly suffering from dementia through physical and mental exercises. In addition, we donated 110 sets of Yuanta care packages to the Social Welfare Foundation of Wisdom. The packages contained objects that could delay the deterioration of cognitive functions, including board games, paint by number sets, and hand grips. We hope that they could warm the hearts of the elderly patients this winter.
