Abstract

The manpower shortage has become increasingly problematic in the elderly care sector in Japan due to further aging of society. The subject of elderly care is increasingly added into home economics education in Japan as a result of this issue. In this paper, we suggest a home economics lesson plan in cooperation with Jinseikai Akatombo Medical Corporation（the name means “red dragonfly”）, the aim of which is to promote networking medical and nursing care rooted in the community. Medical Corporation Jinseikai Akatombo offers an elderly care program incorporating ICT, AI and nursing care robots, along with a team of multi-professional medical personnel, the purpose of which is to support family care and respond to each elderly person’s needs. It also includes worship services, social welfare classes, and junior volunteers to facilitate communication with and between students and the elderly. We also managed a junior high school curriculum, linking home economics lessons with other subjects and designing home economics lesson plans, to include Jinseikai Akatombo Medical Corporation.
