専門的なサービスと地域での支え合いの両方が、今後の介護には不可欠だ。

With the aging population, the number of people requiring long-term care is increasing year by year. While enhancing professional care services is of course important, there are limits to relying solely on them due to staff shortages and cost issues. On the other hand, the development of a 'community-based integrated care system,' where local residents support each other, is also being promoted. From now on, combining public services with community mutual support will likely be the key for many elderly people to live with peace of mind.
