"Tokyo Shimbun reporter Nobuyuki Suzuki compared Japan’s nursing care system to Germany’s and France’s and found one glaring 
difference. Japan’s system comprises seven categories of care: two for yoshien (support) and five for yokaigo (nursing care). 
Support care level 1 is for seniors who can feed and bathe themselves and use the toilet without assistance — basically the 
caregiver provides housekeeping services. Support care level 2 is the same but may also involve a minimal amount of body contact.  
France and Germany do not provide services that are equivalent to yoshien 1 and 2, and thus their expenditures are manageable. The 
cost of yoshien 1 support is about ¥50,000 a month; for yoshien 2, it’s ¥100,000."
