The procedure to receive the long-term care insurance service is as follows.

1　How to take a procedure

(1) To receive nursing care services, apply for a Care-Needs Assessment, etc. at the counter of Community Health and Social Welfare Station in the ward office to be certified as Care-Needs Assessment or Assistance-Needs Assessment.

(2) If you are certified as Level 1~5 of Care-Needs Assessment, you will choose a designated home care support service operator and ask a care manager to make plans for the nursing care that you will be taking ("care plan"). If your level of Assistance-Needs Assessment is determined as 1 or 2, contact the Community Comprehensive Support Center in your area and ask health nurses to make a preventive long-term care service plan or make a preventive Care Management. (You can prepare the care plan by yourself also. When you use a care service facility, such facility will prepare the plan for you.)
