With the progression of an aging society, the number of elderly people aged 60 and over in Japan is increasing. Currently, 9 million households consist of elderly people living alone, and it is projected that by 2050, there will be 10.32 million elderly people without children, leading to an expected increase in those without family support. In particular, elderly people living alone face various risks. An identity guarantor is an important presence for living with peace of mind, supporting debt guarantees during hospitalization or facility admission, responding to emergencies, and handling the pickup of the individual. Main Users: ・Elderly people living alone with no relatives to rely on ・Couples without children, or those who are estranged or have difficult relationships with family ・Single people in their 40s to 60s thinking about end-of-life planning for the future ・Working generations supporting their parents' old age (risk diversification) Common Concerns: ・Need a guarantor because there is no family in the future ・Do not want to burden family with post-mortem procedures ・Want to handle end-of-life planning for parents; refused hospitalization due to lack of a guarantor ・Want to move into a nursing home but cannot find a guarantor ・No one to entrust with post-mortem procedures The current reality is that social systems and legal frameworks are not sufficiently prepared for these needs. ■ Akari Hoshou's Support System Akari Hoshou Co., Ltd. collaborates with experts such as lawyers, judicial scriveners, nurses, caregivers, and care managers to support roles traditionally played by family members.
