n o i s i V n u S Dementia a focus of Japanese exchange visit
in its 12th year, the sun-vision’s exchange program involves annual visits to australia and bi-annual visits by ach group employees to japan.
A group of aged care workers from Japan spent a week in South Australia learning about the latest in dementia care, prevention and understanding as part of an annual exchange with ACH Group. The group of 11 social workers, care workers and leaders focussed on innovation and the latest thinking on brain health ahead of Sun-Vision Social Welfare Corporation’s international symposium on dementia care this year. Care worker Wakana Tanii was excited to be in Australia for his second visit. “I really want to learn about dementia care and how ACH Group supports people living with dementia in their decision making,” he said.
