Today, a woman we know who lives in the same condo asked us to come and see her because she has been having trouble with electricity for several days, and when my husband went to see her, he found the room in poor condition, with two small dogs and feces and urine left inside the room amidst a garbage dump. She said that her phone and cell phone had stopped working, and it was assumed that she was behind in paying her utility bills and other bills. She used to be a very neat and tidy person, but I believe that she has become unable to take care of herself due to her age. We believe that she is inconvenienced by the lack of electricity, and we would like to know where we can contact in order to receive government assistance for the elderly. I believe that there is a terrible stench coming from the person in question and that he/she is in need of elder care support, etc.

#2 Dear Ken
#3 Dear nuiloamama

Sorry for the late reply. It took a while for this consultation topic to be reflected on Vivinavi after I posted it, and in the meantime, I had a lot of problems, so I called 911 and asked for advice. Then I found out that the police and fire department (救急) had a history of several cases where she had collapsed on the road and was taken to the hospital, and that they had tried to support her from the state, but she was adamantly refusing to do so. She trusts us and listens to us, so we got between her and the staff sent by the state, and today she finally convinced us to accept state support. We were having trouble knowing how far to intervene since they are not our relatives, but we were relieved that we managed to bridge the gap to the support group. I will keep the information you gave me in case something similar happens again in the future. Thank you very much.
