The long-term care insurance is for residents over 40, but my visa status as a dependent parent is the real obstacle—premiums and care levels don’t matter if you can’t join the system easily. It pays for home help or facility care, but frankly, my son’s apartment in Osaka is too small for an ailing *shavam* old man. I’ve seen the anxious calculations in my daughter’s eyes during our video calls, the same look she had when my freelance work dried up and the monsoon roof-leaks needed fixing; some burdens are just meant to stay within the family, *ayyo*.
