Reference: 軽度者

Reference information:
Please refer the use of this word in the link below.

軽度者 is a person (either old or physically challenged) who needs Support level 1~2 and/or Nursing Care level 1. For instance, if a family needs help for an old or a physically challenged family member, the family can ask support to a town hall and <Certification Committee of Needed Long-Term Care> decides care level and provides support.

I would translate "a person who requires moderate long-term care".
