A new group has been established in the Tokai region to help foreign residents get educational, medical and welfare services in Japan.

Tokai Daily Life Support Center for Foreigners mainly focuses on assisting aging Chinese returnees and helping foreign children learn Japanese.

The center held an event for seniors of Chinese descent on July 19 at Day-service NOAH, a nursing home in Nagoya's Kita Ward, Aichi Prefecture, which is staffed by speakers of Chinese.
