Even after retirement at the age of 60 or
so, most of the people are able to participate in social activities. On the
other hand, the elderly people need more help and care than they can have under
the care insurance. For example, in most of the facilities and service centers,
caregivers and staffs are too busy to have enough time just to listen to the
residents while communication is very important for the well-being of the
elderly.
NPO Houshinkai was established to make a basis of local voluntary system;
do voluntary work for the elderly when you are able to do, and you get
care service in return when you need it. Anyone can become a member and
there are many kinds of activities in which you can use your experience
and hobbies.
