Prevention of elderly abuse

In April 2006, the "Act on the Prevention of Elder Abuse and Support for Elderly Caregivers (hereinafter referred to as the Elderly Abuse Prevention Law)" was enforced. State and local governments are required to prevent abuse of the elderly, to report when abuse is found, and to carry out the necessary enlightenment activities to protect the abused elderly. Kohoku Ward has established a liaison meeting for the prevention of abuse of the elderly in Kohoku Ward to create networks with administrative and related organizations.

The Elderly Abuse Prevention Law stipulates that anyone who notices abuse is obliged to report to the municipality. If you feel that urgent action is necessary, such as the dangers of life for the elderly, please consult with the Health and Welfare Center Ward or your local Regional Comprehensive Support Center (Community Care Plaza). Elderly people who are abused can also consult directly. The confidentiality of the report will be kept.

Community Care Plaza (CP) Month-Sat 9: 00-21: 00 Sunday and public holidays 9: 00-17: 00
