The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare finds out such cases in order to strengthen monitoring because there are inappropriate cases where "serviced housing for the elderly" over-provides nursing care services of affiliated business establishments and is profitable. We plan to introduce the system in October this year.
Regarding rental housing for the elderly, which requires services such as safety confirmation, "housing for the elderly with services," it is inappropriate to provide excessive nursing care services such as affiliated business establishments and make a profit. It has been pointed out that there are cases.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare plans to introduce a new system to strengthen monitoring, saying that it will lead to financial deterioration of long-term care insurance and increase the self-payment of 10% of users in principle.
With this system, it is possible to extract establishments with many users who are using the long-term care service up to the maximum amount, so we will ask the municipalities to provide on-the-job guidance to these establishments.
According to the Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare, it is believed that some homes have unreasonably reduced rents to attract users and over-provided long-term care services to cover the shortfall in income.
The Ministry of Health, Labor and Welfare says that it may hinder the independence support of the elderly, and may request the refund of nursing care fees in inappropriate cases.
