Even if you hear the phrase, "We will provide support within the community-based integrated care system," most people are probably hearing it for the first time. The community-based integrated care system is a mechanism in which medical, nursing care, and welfare services work together to support people so that they can continue to live safely in the community they are familiar with, even if they require care. It is an idea to support people's lives not only through hospitals and nursing facilities, but through the entire community.
"Mechanism" rather than "system"
There is no application required to use the community-based integrated care system. It is a system in which hospitals, community comprehensive support centers, care managers, care service providers, local governments, and community monitoring activities work together to support the elderly.
First, go to the Community Comprehensive Support Center.
"My parents are becoming more forgetful," "I'm worried about their life after being discharged from the hospital," "I'm anxious about whether I can continue living alone"—even at this stage, the Community Comprehensive Support Center is a public service that offers free consultations. If necessary, they can assist with applying for long-term care insurance, introduce you to a care manager, and provide information on available care services. You don't have to think about everything on your own.
When caregiving begins, clothing becomes a concern.
Many families struggle with clothing choices for their loved ones, needing front-opening undershirts, dryer-safe clothing, or searching for clothes that are easy to change into while in a wheelchair. For information on support systems, please contact your local community support center; for clothing-related inquiries, please contact Setagaya Care. We will help you choose appropriate care clothing based on your loved one's physical condition and living environment.
