Caregiving is about supporting people who have difficulty with daily life due to illness or aging, so that they can continue to live their lives in a way that suits them. The basic idea is not to "do everything for them," but to allow them to continue doing what they can and to provide support only where necessary.
The process of using long-term care insurance services
The process is as follows: ① Consult with the local comprehensive support center ② Apply for long-term care certification ③ Home visit assessment and physician's opinion ④ Long-term care certification (e.g., support level 1 or 2, care level 1 to 5) ⑤ Care plan creation ⑥ Start of care services (day care, home care, welfare equipment rental, etc.)
Home care and institutional care
Home care allows individuals to live at home and is often less expensive, but it can also place a heavy burden on families. Facility care provides 24-hour care, reducing the burden on families. Choose the option that best suits the individual's condition and the family's living situation.
We actually receive many inquiries about "choosing clothing for caregiving."
"I was told I needed clothes that open in the front," "I was asked to write my name on them," "I was asked to prepare clothes that can be put in the dryer"—many people face difficulties with clothing even before they encounter any regulations. We work with physical therapists and occupational therapists to help people choose clothing that suits their needs, whether they are living in a facility or receiving home care.
