The facility for the elderly in Shinchi Town, Fukushima Prefecture, which observed shaking with a seismic intensity of 6 lower in the earthquake on the 16th of this month, suffered damage to the building this time following the earthquake with a maximum seismic intensity of 6 upper in February last year, and the repair cost was raised. Is an issue.
"Yui, a group home for the elderly with dementia," where nine elderly people live in Shinchi-cho, had an emergency slope that sank a few centimeters and created a step, as well as a gap between it and the building. , I can no longer pass by wheelchair.
In addition, the toilet was damaged and the wallpaper was severely torn.
In Shinchi-cho, we observed a tremor with a seismic intensity of 6 or higher in the earthquake in February last year, and this facility was also damaged and some repairs were underway, but it is said that it was damaged again, such as cracking. ..
Although the repair costs for the damage last year were mostly covered by the earthquake insurance, the damage this time is expected to be larger than last year, so it is an issue to raise the repair costs.
Kohei Yuino, CEO of a group home management company, said, "It is difficult to cover repair costs with insurance alone. It is not possible to close a person in need, so if you can get public support, it is better. There is no such thing. "
