Nursing homes for the elderly ※Usage fees are collected from residents according to their ability to bear the burden.
In this fiscal year, a review of the income report submitted by residents in the Elderly and Disabled Support Division Ward revealed that the income was recognized by the residents, including the pension under the Mutual Aid System for Persons with Disabilities, which should not be recognized as income.
We apologize to all those who have caused inconvenience, return the usage fee, and work to prevent recurrence in the future.
※ Nursing homes are welfare facilities for the elderly stipulated in Article 20-4 of the Elderly Welfare Law.
