https://www.reddit.com/r/AskAJapanese/comments/1j25rnv/how_is_it_to_be_a_caregiver_in_japan/ not as relevant but I found it a little interesting. https://kaigo-fukushi.org/en/index.html yep. UK needs them too. Long Covid intensified everything.
I'm collating these in case any mention practical support groups who might help someone. Even a few hours' carer respite a week might be good.
