老人介護支援センター

Long-Term Care Support Center

在宅介護支援センター(in-home care support center)とも呼ばれる。老人福祉法の施設のひとつで、主に在宅で介護を受ける人や家族の相談・支援を総合的に行う。2005年の介護保険法の改正によって、地域包括支援センターがその役割を担当している。

This is also known as an in-home care support center. It is one facility under the Act on Social Welfare for the Elderly and provides comprehensive advice and support for people who mainly receive nursing care at home and their families. After the 2005 Long-Term Nursing Care Insurance Law was amended, a community general support center plays the role of a long-term care support center.
