In Japan, which has become a super-aging society, the increase in the number of elderly with dementia is also an issue that must be dealt with socially. Looking back, it was common for elderly people to be cared for at home, and dementia was no exception. After that, as the system for the elderly and the social security system progressed, medical institutions and facilities in the community became the recipients. As the reception has been improved, the support for the elderly with dementia will shift away from the family. Since April 2000, the long-term care insurance system has been started, but with this as a turning point, the elderly with dementia will return to their homes. However, until now, care for the elderly with dementia has been handled by medical institutions and facilities in the community, so it cannot be said that the know-how of nursing care services at home is sufficient. In addition, the long-term care insurance system is promoting a comprehensive community care system. In particular, we must promote the construction of dementia care methods and know-how at home.
