Social Welfare Corporation Aiseikan (Hekinan City, Aichi Prefecture, Chairman Kiyohiko Kobayashi) will hold a business presentation for "100-nen PLAZA," a multi-functional facility that will serve as a new model for welfare for people with disabilities, on Friday, June 5, 2026.
At this presentation, a new model will be announced to address structural issues such as the fragmentation of systems and the lack of social support in welfare for people with disabilities.
"Can this child live alone?" For families with children with disabilities, this question is a realistic and urgent concern.
When children with disabilities turn 18, the support system changes significantly, a phenomenon known as the "18-year-old wall." This has led to widespread issues across the country where previously received support is fragmented. In fact, a survey by the Nippon Foundation shows that approximately 86% of families with children with disabilities respond with "anxiety about what happens after parents pass away," indicating that anxieties about future life are extremely serious. Furthermore, approximately 70% of people with intellectual disabilities are 18 years or older, meaning much support is needed during adulthood, but the issue of insufficient workplaces and living spaces is also pointed out.
Against this background, there is a demand for the construction of a new mechanism that seamlessly supports housing and workplaces for people with disabilities.
Aiseikan has envisioned "100-nen PLAZA," a multi-functional facility that comprehensively supports "housing," "workplaces," and "connections with the community," to address these structural issues.
At this presentation, we will announce its specific mechanisms and implementation methods, and based on the achievements of CORRIN, a multi-functional facility operated by Aiseikan, we will introduce the challenges and possibilities observed on-site, as well as the solutions provided by 100-nen PLAZA. Additionally, a facility tour will be conducted to show actual initiatives, such as actual support sites where multiple generations and functions intersect.

Aiseikan Group Overview
The Aiseikan Group is a corporate group based in Hekinan City and Anjo City, engaged in businesses across the fields of medical care, nursing care, welfare for people with disabilities, and childcare. Centered around Kobayashi Memorial Hospital, we provide integrated services including inpatient/outpatient care, home support, rehabilitation, nursing care services, childcare, and welfare services for people with disabilities, working to "create a system that supports people from 0 to 100 years old."
With a system of over 150 rehabilitation specialists providing rehabilitation 365 days a year, and support for returning home through multidisciplinary collaboration, we have established a system that seamlessly supports people from medical care to daily life.
In recent years, based at the multi-functional facility CORRIN, we have been promoting community coexistence practices where multiple generations and functions intersect. We advocate for "solving social issues" without being bound by institutional frameworks and are promoting initiatives that evolve from community coexistence to co-creation.
