Using Long-Term Care Insurance Service

Those who are 65 years of age or older may use nursing care services if nursing care is necessary regardless of the reason. Those who are between 40 and 64 years of age may use nursing care services if nursing care is necessary due to illnesses associated with aging, such as cerebral blood vessel problems and presenile dementia.
You have to apply for and acquire a certification of long-term care or support to use the services.
