In Japan, a public long-term care insurance system was launched in 2000. Residents can receive long-term care according to their care needs, as determined by a nationally standardized certification system. The present report describes the details of the long-term care services covered by public insurance. The Long-Term Care Insurance Act categorizes services into three major types: in-home, nursing-home, and community-based long-term care services. In-home care services include visiting, commuting, short-stay, and other services. Welfare, health, and medical facilities provide nursing-home care services for the elderly. Community-based care services were categorized into visiting, commuting, nursing-home, and composite services.
