○Welfare [2]

     Having a certain number of dementia patients residing together in a single facility increases the number of visitors such as family and friends. This ensures that if someone falls or sustains an injury, there is a higher likelihood of someone noticing, offering assistance, or contacting family members. Placing these facilities in the central areas of communities where people gather and ensuring their visibility with open fences or meshed boundaries makes it easier for surrounding individuals to notice and respond promptly if any issues arise.

    Moreover, as there may be excretion done in places other than toilets, the floors and walls of these specialized residences are designed for easy cleaning. Dangerous items such as knives are not kept within reach. These specialized residences are not located far away; they are facilities within the same municipality, creating a sense of proximity akin to moving to a nearby home, allowing families to meet at any time. The municipality's health and food department manages these specialized residences, while families and residents participate in caregiving.

    In addition to this, one possible system is for children, together with adults, to take turns providing care for residents with dementia. Everyone ages and potentially becomes dementia, and for children, it is a social study to know their future. By encountering human aging early, it becomes a place to learn about health and the way of eating, compassion for people, and a humble way of thinking about things.

    In Japan, it is not generally familiar, but welfare also includes sexual care for people with physical disabilities. Even people with severe disabilities have sexual desires, and sex volunteers visit their homes to provide assistance. This is also positioned as part of welfare.
