Where We Call Home - Season 2 Episode 22 Elderly Care Under the Pandemic

In recent years more and more foreign workers are being hired in Japan in response to the shortage of care laborers for the elderly. But the pandemic brings up additional issues for both the aged and care workers. On this episode, we look at the work of non-Japanese care laborers, from a nursing home that set up a prayer room for its Muslim staff to a Swedish man who uses music therapy to support the elderly with dementia, as well as a Korean woman who provides care for foreign elderly in Japan.
