However, after April 1, 2021, in cases where the chief care manager can no longer be appointed as the manager due to unforeseen circumstances (death of the manager who is also the chief care manager, the occurrence of health issues such as long-term treatment, sudden retirement or relocation, etc.), the requirement to appoint the manager as the chief care manager will be deferred for one year if a plan for securing a manager is submitted to Inagi City and approval is obtained.
