Nursing Care Services - Markdown

Nursing care services are various services provided to elderly individuals who have been certified as requiring care under Japan's Long-Term Care Insurance system, which began in 2000. These services are classified into three major categories: in-home services, facility services, and community-based services, with diverse service types including home-visit care, day services, short-stay care, and special nursing homes for the elderly. From services supporting home-based living to 24-hour residential facility care, various options are provided according to the user's condition and preferences.
