SOYOKAZE Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Minato-ku, Tokyo, President: Kiyohiko Nakagawa, hereinafter 'the Company'), which develops elderly nursing care services centered on the 'Soyokaze' brand nationwide, will open the 'Kobe Kita Short Stay Soyokaze' (hereinafter 'this Facility') in Kita-ku, Kobe City, Hyogo Prefecture on May 1, 2026. This facility is a short-stay facility that provides life support and functional training through short-term accommodation. We propose a new form of home care support that transforms nursing care from 'preparation for an emergency' to a 'positive choice' for the whole family to live a healthy life.
This facility is our 11th base in Hyogo Prefecture and the 3rd in Kobe City. Leveraging our expertise cultivated through the largest number of short-stay operations in Japan (*1), we have prepared an environment to support customers in continuing to live in their familiar local communities for a long time. This includes services that reduce the burden of preparing for accommodation and functional training that can be done even in their rooms. We aim to be a community-based facility where both customers and their families feel they 'want to come back again.'
■ Background: The need to enhance 'respite' in a super-aging society
The aging rate in Kita-ku, Kobe City, where this facility is located, has reached 22.4% (*2), and there are areas exceeding 30%, mainly in housing complexes (*2). The burden on families who continue to provide home care is increasing year by year, and creating an environment where they can take a rest (respite) with peace of mind has become an important social issue.
Through short stays, our company provides an environment where families do not have to bear the burden alone and can also value their own lives. Furthermore, for the customers themselves, we aim to maintain and improve their daily life functions through functional training during their stay, supporting them to continue living in their familiar communities for as long as possible. We propose nursing care not as a 'preparation for an emergency' but as a 'positive choice' for the whole family to live healthily, and will continue working toward the realization of a community-based cohesive society.
■ Three features of 'Kobe Kita Short Stay Soyokaze'
1. Supporting the continuation of home life with 'functional training' that can be done in the room
Fully equipped with mobile devices. You can maintain a 'movable body' at your own pace without worrying about the eyes of others.
2. Achieving a light stay with the preparation-free 'Overnight Set (optional)'
A complete set of clothing and daily necessities is provided. Even for sudden stays, you can use it with minimal luggage.
3. Flexible response to 'sudden use' 365 days a year. Comfortable environment with private rooms and Wi-Fi
Leveraging our top track record in Japan, we provide speedy acceptance and private rooms that protect privacy.
[Center Manager's Comment]: 'In Kita-ku, which has many slopes, just going outside places a heavy burden on both the person and their family. That is why we want to make the stay at the facility not 'just an accommodation' but a place to store the power to continue living at home from both sides of 'physical strength maintenance through functional training' and 'family rest.' We want to turn short stays into a positive choice so that they can continue living in this familiar town for even one day longer.'
