In short, a community-based integrated care center is a public consultation service where you can get free advice on caregiving and the lives of the elderly. You can consult with them even if you're unsure whether you need caregiving.
It's okay if you think, "I'm not in need of care yet."
"My parents have been forgetting things more often lately," "I'm worried about whether they can continue living alone," "I don't know if I should apply for long-term care insurance"—you can consult with us even at this stage. Consultations are free.
Things you can talk about
You can get advice on a wide range of topics related to elderly care and life in general, including how to apply for long-term care insurance, available care services, care managers, finding a facility, and dealing with dementia. Even if you haven't organized your thoughts, the staff will help you clarify them.
Actually, we've been getting more inquiries about clothing.
Facilities and hospitals often ask for "front-opening clothing" or "clothes that can be used in a dryer." Setagaya Care also receives many inquiries about such clothing. We help you think not only about regulations but also about the preparations you need for daily life.
