Abstract

The purpose of this study is to understand the employment situation of foreign care workers in longterm care facilities, and to clarify the awareness of the acceptance of foreign care workers by residential social workers and their issues. As a result of the survey, as of March 1, 2019, 42.6% of special nursing homes for the elderly and long-term care health facilities in Tokyo already have foreign care workers. In other words, it is considered that nearly half of the residential social workers are already in contact with foreign care workers. As a social worker, it is natural, but it is important to understand the relationship with foreign care workers from a micro level perspective, and to recognize that they are not just a labor force but a living person. In addition, it is the expected role to be involved as a social worker.
