Securing support beds for those receiving home medical care

Inagi City has secured hospital beds for rapid admission in the event that at-home care becomes temporarily difficult (note), so that elderly people in need of care who are receiving medical care at home and their families can live safely in the community.
Please use this as a reference when considering using medical care at home, and please feel free to use it if you need it.

(Note) If you are in a condition that requires immediate call for an ambulance, such as loss of consciousness, difficulty breathing, or physical convulsions, please call 119 instead of using this service.
In addition, if short-term admission under nursing care insurance is available, this will be given priority.

Those who meet both of the following criteria (1) and (2): (1) Those who live in the city and have been certified as needing assistance or nursing care, or elderly people equivalent to such people; (2) Those who are continuously receiving management and guidance from a doctor who provides medical care at home, or from a visiting nurse or other medical professional under the direction of a doctor.
