Abstract
In Japan, demand for nursing care is increasing more and more with the rapid progress of aging. In 2008, the “Law on Improvement of Related Laws to Promote the Comprehensive Assurance of Medical Care and Nursing Care in the Region”, the“ Long-Term Care Insurance Law” was revised along with the“ Medical Law”, and among the preventive benefits, Major reforms are under way to shift visiting nursing care and home care to local community support projects. Even in Germany, where Japan has modeled the nursing care insurance system, in order to solve the problem of nursing care accompanying progress of aging, reform of long-term care insurance law over nursing care of dementia is underway in 2015. In this paper, in order to refer to Japan's future long-term care insurance system as a reference, we will examine the current issues concerning nursing care in Germany and its solutions and discuss how the nursing-care is treated.
