10 News September 2017 Inkaya Sycamore, a historical value in Bursa Bursa Metropolitan Municipality organizes seminars on Alzheimer’s Disease for the people of the region by cooperating with Turkey Alzheimer Association Bursa Branch The sycamore tree which gave its name to the Oyukcinar Neighborhood at the North of Bursa was Turkey’s largest tree with its 18.2 meters body width. Social Services Directorate of Bursa Metropolitan Municipality cooperates with Turkey Alzheimer Association Bursa Branch in order to inform the citizens of the region on Alzheimer’s Disease. Professor Bilgen Taneli, delivering a series of seminars in Bursa and its towns such as Büyükorhan, Harmancık, Kestel, İznik, Orhangazi, Keles and Orhaneli, Gürsu, Yenişehir, Karacabey and Gemlik, informs the people on the disease. Meanwhile, citizens are also informed about Alzheimer and the “Love Chip” application of the Bursa Metropolitan Municipality. Citizens living with Alzheimer and mental disturbances can connect with their relatives easily and safely thanks to the Love Chip. As known, Alzheimer’s Disease is a chronic and progressive condition characterized by the decline of cognitive functions such as reasoning, remembering and planning. It affects people in different ways; no two individuals will experience exactly the same progression of the disease. A person’s personality, health and social situation are all important factors that influence the impact of dementia. According to Professor Bilgen Taneli, Some activities such as sorting, pairing, matching and puzzles should be offered once and then repeated twice during the week. Despite having poor recollection, people living with Alzheimer’s can still learn through practice and repetition. Most activities that require movement: grasping, pressing, pushing, gripping, extending, scooping and reaching are helpful in improving hand-eye coordination. These types of activities also provide sensory stimulation and promote well-being. If utensils or tools are to be used, make sure they are adapted to the needs of individuals.
