Abstract

Asuke Hospital is located in the Eastern mesomountainous region of Toyota City. The aging rate in this medical care area is over 40% and it has become a typical depopulated area. Due to the shortage of care workers, we started accepting foreign care worker candidates under an Economic Partnership Agreement (EPA). To date, our institution accepted 1 EPA candidate in 2014 and 2 more candidates in 2016. We acted to provide support to EPA candidates mainly for “Coaching in care-giving techniques”, “Counterplan for passing the National Examination for Care Workers and Japanese language education”, and “Support for daily living”. It has been 3 years since we started accepting EPA candidates and in January 2018 our EPA candidate who joined in 2014 passed the 30th National Examination for care workers and became the first EPA care worker at our institution (JA Aichiken Kouseiren). We will continue to support EPA candidates in the future and work hard to create a good working environment for them to work on a long-term basis after they have become a certified care worker.
