Initiatives for community-based comprehensive care system

Toward 2025, when all baby boomers will be 75 years of age or older (late elderly), the elderly living alone and elderly couples are expected to increase significantly in households, certified persons requiring long-term care, and those with dementia. The population is expected to decrease. Medical care, nursing care, prevention, housing, and life support are integrated so that they can respond to qualitatively and quantitatively increasing living issues of the elderly, and to be able to continue living in their own areas in the area where they are accustomed. Must be provided. It is a mechanism called the "comprehensive community care system", and its construction is urgently needed.

• Promote health promotion and nursing care prevention.
• Activates a little bit of help each other.
• We aim to be an area where people can live with peace of mind even if they have dementia.
• We aim to be an area where elderly people can continue to play an active role.
• We will expand cooperation between medical care and nursing care.

Elderly people have a need to continue living in the area where they are accustomed to living for a long time, but they are expected to face a super-aged society, they will not be able to move into their desired facilities and hospitalizations. Cooperation between medical professionals and caregivers is essential to support elderly people who have both medical needs and nursing care needs. For this reason, Aoba Ward promotes multi-disciplinary collaboration between medical professionals such as medical associations, dentist associations, and pharmacist associations, as well as those involved in nursing care to meet the medical needs and nursing care needs of home recuperators.

It is also featured in the March 2018 issue of public information Yokohama Aoba Ward version.

In order to respond to the rapidly increasing demand for medical care and nursing care, there is a need for local medical institutions and nursing care providers to cooperate to create a system that supports medical care, nursing care and living of the elderly throughout the community.
In Aoba Ward, which is expected to grow rapidly in the future, we held a kick-off seminar by medical and nursing care providers involved in home healthcare and care.
