Q&A overview
| No. | Contents of question | Mayor's answer |
|---|---|---|
| 1 | Is the integrated community care system a realistic system, and can it really be used? Elderly people who live alone are worried about how they will continue to live, as there is no guarantee that they will be able to enter a facility in the future. | The integrated community care system is not something that the government is responsible for entirely. Active involvement of all citizens is essential. We encourage you to participate in local communities, such as neighborhood associations and voluntary disaster prevention organizations, and cherish the bonds of self-help and mutual help. We believe that these connections will be important in terms of disaster prevention and welfare. As the population continues to age, we will not have the financial resources to rely on the government to handle everything. I want them to think about what they can do on their own after building mutual relationships in the community. Organic connections lead to safety and security. I would like the government to provide solid support for the creation of such a system. |
| 2 | He lives in Koyodai and started an exchange project at the Shiroyama Cultural Center in collaboration with the Comprehensive Support Center in January, but there are few places to gather in the new town, so he would like to receive operational support. | We have a coffee corner at the Shiroyama Cultural Center, so we hope that people will use it effectively to carry out community activities while enjoying a cup of tea. There are very few places like this in the new town, so we will consider this in our urban planning. We will also gradually improve the community center so that it is easier to use. If you find it difficult to use, please contact us. |
| 3 | I would like to see specific examples (various patterns) of when elderly people receive support. For example, you can go to this hospital depending on the symptoms of your illness. Or, wouldn't it be nice to have a document that lists contact information for each model, so that you can consult here? | I have heard that other cities are making efforts to create and distribute contact lists of such related organizations. In Inagi City, the point of contact for consultation has been unified at the Regional Comprehensive Support Center, and we recommend that you consult there first. We can listen to your situation and refer you to an appropriate agency. We believe that we can provide a more detailed response than creating and distributing a list of contacts like a telephone directory. If you have any problems, please contact the Regional Comprehensive Support Center. |
| 4 | There are many elderly people living in Hirao Housing, and they would like to find a coffee shop that they can use at a low price. We are using trees from NPO Paw Paw, but I would like the city to provide financial support so that we can provide coffee and other items at a cheaper price. | NPOs are also working on providing services that public institutions cannot provide, and we are providing support to them as a whole. Although the government cannot directly lower the price of coffee by providing financial assistance, we would like to continue to support our activities. |
| 5 | The Hirao Housing Neighborhood Association receives many personal inquiries and requests from elderly people, and it is difficult for them to respond to them (such as requests to take out the garbage from elderly people living on upper floors). ). We are making efforts as a neighborhood association, but we would like the city to support the neighborhood association as well. | The city can also take out large-sized garbage for elderly residents on upper floors by making a reservation. Specific initiatives to look after the elderly throughout the community are being considered by the ``Lifestyle Support and Long-Term Care Prevention Services Council.'' Regarding the hardware development of the Hirao condominium complex, the city has assigned a person in charge and is providing support for its revitalization. |
| 6 | I have a child with a disability, but I am entrusting him to a hospital in a nearby city. If possible, I would like to keep it in Inagi City, so I would like to see facilities etc. | It is realistically impossible to have everything within the city. A facility with nationwide advanced medical care is located in neighboring Tama City, and Inagi City has also secured it as an emergency short-stay facility. I want you to take that point as a positive. |
