A new facility for people with traumatic brain injuries has opened in Nakagawa Ward, Nagoya, to offer the kind of care that, say, traffic accident victims often need.
Unlike "jusanjo" vocational training centers or day care facilities, Challenge House Mirai Aichi aims to provide young patients a way to regain their independence by training in such basic skills as cooking and shopping.
The ultimate aim is to ensure that when patients' parents or partners pass away, they will be in a position to carry on with life independently.
