I recently moved in with my American husband's 86 year old mother.
I have a feeling that she is suffering from dementia.
I am concerned that this may become a problem in the future, and I am wondering if I will be able to leave my mother-in-law alone when I return to Japan with my husband.

Please let me know if you know anything about this.
① How can we get someone to come and cook and clean as senior care ?
② ① is there anything covered by pensioner's health insurance ?
③ If the dementia is severe, there is a possibility of moving into an institution. is possible, where should I ask for such information ?

If you don't mind, please let me know. Thank you very much.

Hello.

① Care givers can be asked for a single visit.
We used 「 Home Instead 」 when we went back home, but if you search for senior care you will find many.
You can ask for 3 hours or 24 hours.

② I assume by pensioner's health insurance you mean Medicare ?
I don't think it is available as far as I know, but
check with your mother if she has long-term care insurance.

③ My mother-in-law ended up in a nursing home, but
at that time she was in a hospital → facility, so the hospital referred her to several places. I think they were thinking about the possibility of being transported to a hospital in case something happened.

My mother-in-law did not have dementia, but there was a dementia ward in the facility.

First, we need to check if your mother has long-term care insurance.
My mother-in-law joined it with her company when she was working, and I paid for it myself after she retired, but I was very grateful.

Lord

I just recently went to a study session with a
Medicare Advisor, so
this is a hot topic.
What is available in your mother's health insurance ? and what benefits does it offer? You can consult with me for free in Japanese or English.
I know
Premier ・ Benefit ・ Consultant
Washington ・ Tomoko-san is Japanese and speaks English.
Mobile Phone (808)-753-0622
Office (808)-738-4500
I was told that I can consult with her individually, so I think it is okay.
