Expanding the "prepayment" guarantee coverage for paid nursing home bankruptcies 7:01 on May 15

Since the requirements for the system that guarantees the "advance payment" that was paid at the time of moving in when a pay nursing home went bankrupt were too strict, there were a large number of users who could not receive payment, so industry groups and countries that operate the system We decided to abolish the requirement that all residents should be removed and to extend the scope of the guarantee.

At over 2,200 paid nursing homes nationwide, there is a plan that the monthly burden will be lighter if the rent for a certain period of time is paid in advance when entering a contract. You will have to pay a "prepayment" in excess of JPY.

The National Paid Nursing Homes Association has a system to pay a deposit of up to 5 million yen if the facility goes bankrupt and the prepayment is not refunded, but all residents are forced to leave. Since it was limited to cases of moving out and dying in the half year before the legal proceedings of bankruptcy, many users who were not able to receive payment when a large bankruptcy occurred last year.

Therefore, after discussing with the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, the Association decided to abolish the requirement for "all people to leave" and to extend the target period to three months after the completion of legal procedures.

The new system will start this October.
