The articles were written ahead of the Basic Act for Dementia came into effect on January 1, 2024. Kurita stated as a future challenge, “The situation of access to transportation, medical care, and long-term care services differs between urban and rural areas. I hope that the voices of persons with dementia and related parties will be heard at the local government level, and that measures that suit the local conditions will be promoted.”
