自民党、政策活動費の使途公開を法改正に向け調整　補選での「全敗」を受けて方針転換【朝日新聞デジタル】

In a groundbreaking move to support elderly individuals without family support, the Tokyo Toshima Ward has initiated a comprehensive consultation center called the “End-of-Life Security Center.” This center has been receiving a multitude of concerns and anxieties from the elderly population, such as the lack of individuals to organize funerals, the absence of relatives to rely on during hospitalization, and worries about managing finances in case of dementia.

The center aims to address these pressing issues faced by the elderly population and provide them with the necessary support and guidance. With the number of elderly individuals living alone increasing, the need for such services has become “urgent.”

In a related development, the national government is also considering support systems for elderly individuals without family support, aiming to provide assistance from pre-death to post-death phases. This initiative comes in response to the growing number of cases where elderly individuals are left without any support or assistance during critical times.

The move by the Tokyo Toshima Ward to establish the “End-of-Life Security Center” reflects a proactive approach to addressing the needs of the elderly population and ensuring that they receive the necessary care and support during their later years. This initiative is a step towards creating a more inclusive and supportive society for all individuals, especially those who are vulnerable and in need of assistance.
