Regarding an abuse incident in January at “Residence Wakafuji,” a facility for supporting people with disabilities in Shimanto City, Kochi Prefecture, where a resident was left unattended and subsequently died after being made to eat while naked in a shower room, the operating social welfare corporation submitted a third-party verification committee report to the prefecture on November 4. The report pointed out that the facility was being operated without clearly assigning staff in charge of supervision and support.
