 The home helper (home-care worker) will be dispatched to home helper (home-care worker) to support the daily lives of people with severe physical disabilities (children), intellectual disabilities (children), mentally ill persons, and incurable disease (359 nationally defined diseases).
In addition, we perform visit bathing or facility bathing service for severely disabled people who have difficulty bathing at home. (The long-term care insurance system has priority.)

I want to use daily life tools and assistive devices

 We provide and lend daily life tools to those with severe physical and intellectual disabilities and those with incurable disease (359 diseases specified by the government).
 Please refer to "Disability Welfare" for the types of daily life tools.
 In addition, we will issue assistive devices to those who have a certificate of the physically disabled as necessary.

I want to know if there is a hearing aid.

 Those who have a hearing impairment certificate are eligible for assistance. I will give you a medical certificate form at Elderly and Disabled Support Division.

I would like to know about the medical expenses system for children with disabilities.

Benefits of independence support medical care

 Those who have a certificate of the physically disabled who are 18 years of age or older can receive medical treatment at designated medical institutions such as the country to reduce disabilities and restore functions. (There is a self-pay depending on the amount of municipal tax of the household.)

Assistance from medical expenses with severe disabilities

In policy holder of health insurance, we will support medical expenses's co-payments for those with the following disabilities:

  1. Handbook for the Physically Disabled 1.2
  2. Love Notebook (Nursing Handbook) A1, A2
  3. Handbook for the Physically Handicapped, Grade 3, Love Notebook B1

※For more information, please contact Insurance and Pension Division National Health Insurance Section (Ward Office 2F: 045-750-2428).
If you present your Medical Certificate along with your health insurance card at the window of the medical institution, you will not have to pay a portion of your insurance medical treatment.
If you are unable to present Medical Certificate with severe disabilities due to unavoidable reasons, or if you go to a hospital that does not handle this system or a hospital outside the prefecture, you can get a refund if you complete the procedures at the Health and pension Section of your ward office.
In addition, if you are consulted at a hospital outside the prefecture for the longevity medical system (late-elderly medical system), you will be automatically transferred to the designated account of the person at a later date.
