This touched my heart strings. The Elderly are human too. Some people seem to forget that. This is an extremely wonderful thing. It can work all over the World. Thanks BBC News!
I think this is the one of the most significant problem in Japan. Although I'm Japanese high school student, it is often worried how we can help these erderly people, such as dementia, Alzheimer's and so on. As well as my grandparents are both Alzheimer's, and they have stayed in Nursing home for over the two years. Because of this, I cannot help afoording from thinking of this topic. This is not only for senior people, but also ceartained for us. The more increasing the people who can't make living oneself is the more rising our health tax. That's why, we must work on This!! Thank you for takeing up this topic, BBC News. I want everyone in the world to figure out this current states in Japan.
Davestermatically It’s not that nobody is looking after the elderly with dementia. Japan is struggling with an aging population. Currently more than 25% of the population is over 65 years old so there simply aren’t enough care takers or care homes to accommodate all of them for 24/7. In every town there are teams of doctors, nurses, social workers, and care takers working with the elderly and their families. Sometimes it’s hard to tell if a person is wandering because there are a lot of elderly people walking in Japan for exercise because it’s safe to do so, and people with dementia are usually dressed decently as well.
MsR So what about the young people and middle aged people who are walking around talking to themselves? I know it is a different topic to old age dementia, so maybe I’m being unfair, but it riles me that everybody tries to paint Japan in such a glowing light when there are so many serious social problems.
In our country too, people with dementia just wandering off on their own and never turning up is way more common than it ought to be. It would be great if this could be spread around the world. Thanks Japan.
Yes, my narrative text is the solution Matsudo finds here today. :P Seriously though, a single example is great and all, but I think we can do better all around in the world. Our seniors deserve all the best.
Dying unnoticed is/can be pretty common. I even believe I’d be the one who would do when luckily being at home. My mother passed away a few months back. She had been suffering from dementia and brain tumor. She used to join a class at a caretaker facility to keep up with being active as a human e.g. learning how to use scissors or sing, etc, together with other similar type of senior people. Other than that, she stayed at home and was taken care of by my father. She hardly was able to move to the bathroom in the last few months especially after moving to a new home due to demolition of the former apartment due to the 2011 earthquake damages. She was a monster together with my father the last time when I saw her. When a dementia person can walk around, that’s when the condition is rather minor and easy to handle. When your family or someone in your family is very rich or generous, you may want to have a dementia parent(s) live in an apartment dedicated to the special care. There can be found such an apartment/facility anywhere these days but it costs JPY250k per month or JPY5-6 million per year per person. This may be equivalent to a grave or cemetery afterwards if anyone can afford such a caretaker’s house. Everybody around gets affected though you have to feel obligatory about parents’ diseases and weakness. Pretty heavy. Nobody actually is kind to a stranger with dementia or Alzheimer’s wandering around nowhere and lost in the middle of the street or fall right behind you. They are unable to speak. I couldn’t handle not only my mother but my father as well. Japan especially Tokyo is not kind to any elderly or old people including middle aged useless people especially women. Young people are everything for the country. Lmao.
Its not a perfect country though. They still keep denying all the war crimes they did against Korea and China. Research comfort women. And you'll see what i mean. They basically just waiting for the survivors to die off.
In lots of Westerns countries the people are ageing fast. These small things could indeed help seniors with a light case of dementia live longer at home. It is so much better for them. I volunteer in a home for demented people. It’s the sad truth that when these people are moved to the facility their mind is influenced in a negative way. Some are more affected than others but all together this has a negative influence. There also is another reason to let people stay longer at home. It’s cutting costs in the social system.If less people have to go to a nursing home or they go later, the expense for the community is much lower. For countries with huge international debts, as the one I live in, this can make a difference. Anyway it’s also a splendid idea to go out in the street to check on the elderly. Lots of seniors live alone and have nobody to care for them. It’s not only making them less lonely but the chance of an early intervention in case of an injury or illness is more likely. I read more often than is good that people die alone and their death is only remarked after several weeks. This is intolerable in today’s society. If we all donate a few hours of our free time we can make a lot of elderly people happy.
But.. What if they also forgot to wear that barcode badge before going out? Might plant the barcode on their skin. "plant" means like.. Barcode tatoo on their hand. Or something like that.
When people reaches their old age better to tattoo their home address in qr code form which helps to scan and help them to find their families. ..how is it japan
Why is everyone so mindlessly positive about Japan. They find it hard enough to admit to mental illness in people close to them, let alone look after them so they’re not wandering about everywhere getting lost. There’s a woman near my son’s nursery school in Kobe who I often seeing stop in the middle of the road. Goodness knows why nobody’s looking after her. She doesn’t know if she’s coming or going. Like I said below, people as young as junior high school boys can be seen walking up and down trains gibbering to themselves and scaring people with kids. It’s such a shame. The mentally ill are really not looked after enough in Japan.
me heretoday I did, I tried to move her. My Japanese is terrible and I don’t know where she lives. I’m taking my son to nursery and then going to work. She shouldn’t be there in the first place.
@@StickItUpYrBumGugle A friend of mine works at a psychiatric clinic as a social worker in Japan. I used to go there myself as a volunteer. The clinic has day care facilities just like for the elderly. I don't know about the woman you see sometimes, but the day care patients there go to the clinic on their own, and some of them do not act "normal." I knew someone who could carry conversations in the day care with no problem but if you see him outside, he would be cheering for an imaginary baseball team inside a station building in Tokyo while many people pass by him. I spoke to him once at the station, but he would not speak back to me or look at me, so I let him be. He took trains on his own, went home and came back to the day care next day. Every case is different, but there are many people like that as well.

Maybe proof these before putting them on UA-cam 3:15
I love Japan. A high trust and low crime society.
No diversity = literally Hitler.

Then why is nobody looking after the mentally ill, so that they’re wandering about everywhere getting lost.

The trouble is in a lot of other countries the lost and confused elderly person is more likely to be robbed than helped.

I think that Dementia is the worstest, the most tragic thing in the world.

Japan:- No wars, little crime, economically productive, a model country
But where’s the diversity??
What? WW2, they have major gangs everywhere and imo worst of they have very high suicide ratea among men.
@@roberthill7885 Exactly, no diversity. A model country.

Robert Hill there’s much more diversity there than you think. You should go visit!

give them a smart phone that guides them
Your narrative text
In uk they would steal your phone, thats common thing in UK
بgoverment should put gps tracking on them
When people reaches their old age better to tattoo their home address in qr code form which helps to scan and help them to find their families. ..how is it japan
We keep it simple in the uk, we put their name and address in their pocket!
We could learn a lot from how Japan keeps it’s people safe.
Look at how few terror attacks and rape jihadi gangs they suffer.

So Dave if you see her regularly stopping in the middle of the road why are YOU not helping her?
