Social Inclu Home Funabashi Kanasugidai Building 2, a residence where individuals with severe disabilities requiring daily support can live independently while receiving assistance, has been opened in Kanasugidai, Funabashi City, Chiba Prefecture.
"Social Inclu Home Funabashi Kanasugidai Building 2" is a daytime service support type group home, and it is the third Social Inclu Home facility in Funabashi City.
Funabashi City, popular for its excellent access to the Tokyo metropolitan area and high living convenience, has had a limited number of daytime service support facilities, and there has been a demand for the development of an acceptance system for people with disabilities. This facility will continue to leverage the collaboration with local administration cultivated through the operation of two existing facilities, establishing a support system that meets local needs and supporting the independent living of its residents.
Social Inclu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Nobukazu Matsushita), the operating company, operates "Social Inclu Home" disability group homes nationwide based on the Act on Comprehensive Support for Persons with Disabilities, with the philosophy of "creating a society where there are 'zero' people with disabilities struggling with housing."
■ Disability Group Homes are Welfare Infrastructure Supporting Safe Living
While there are various welfare support and employment services for people with disabilities to live safely, housing options remain limited. This is due to challenges such as difficulty living alone for those who require daily support, anxiety about "what happens after parents are gone" even when living with family, and regional disparities in support systems and acceptance, which affect the ease of living depending on the area.
Disability group homes are facilities that serve as a foundation for the lives of people with disabilities facing such housing challenges and anxieties, supporting their community living.
Disability group homes play a crucial role as a system that enables people with disabilities to achieve independent living by receiving necessary support and continue to live safely in their familiar communities.
Social Inclu Co., Ltd. is committed to solving the social issue of housing shortages for individuals with severe disabilities by supporting the lives of people with disabilities and promoting their independence through the operation of disability group homes.
■ What is Social Inclu Home Funabashi Kanasugidai Building 2?
1. Daytime Service Support Type Disability Group Home
A daytime service support type group home is a disability group home where individuals with severe disabilities or elderly individuals with disabilities, who require continuous support during the day, can live while receiving daily life support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (※1)
Since a short-term stay facility (※2) is co-located, individuals other than residents can also use it as a temporary accommodation when their families are out, when rest is needed, or in emergencies.
2. Support Content Tailored to Disability Characteristics
To enable individuals with severe disabilities to lead independent lives, support tailored to their specific disability conditions will be provided 24 hours a day.
In addition to daily life support such as bathing and excretion, meals are prepared with nutritionally balanced menus, including blended foods and porridge, tailored to each resident, and meal assistance is provided to those who need it. Health management and medication management are conducted daily, and staff accompany residents to hospital visits and shopping. During the day within the facility, leisure activities tailored to the residents are provided. Financial management necessary for daily life is also supported, thereby assisting residents in their independent daily lives.
Before admission, staff with specialized qualifications will conduct interviews to understand the disability status and necessary assistance for daily life, and create an individualized support plan tailored to each person's wishes and disability condition. After admission, a system is in place to quickly grasp changes in condition through continuous observation and recording of daily life, progress, and course. Furthermore, support plans are reviewed at shorter cycles than legally mandated, allowing for flexible responses to changes in wishes and conditions, and providing optimal support.
3. Operating System Supporting a Safe Living Environment
Daytime service support type group homes have operating standards, such as staff placement systems and facility equipment, stipulated by law. To support the lives of individuals who require assistance day and night, a system of 24-hour monitoring and support is required. Facility equipment adopts barrier-free design, and the development of a living environment tailored to the disability condition is necessary.
Social Inclu Home's policy is to provide a support system that exceeds legal requirements, such as setting a standard of two staff members per unit (※3) for night-time staff placement. (※4)
Furthermore, the building was newly constructed for the group home, and it is barrier-free with barrier-free toilets, bathing lifts, entrance ramps, and elevators, allowing wheelchair users to live there. Security cameras and sprinklers are also installed as crime prevention and disaster prevention equipment.
(※1) Daytime service support type refers to one type of "Kyodo Seikatsu Enjo" (group home) where people with disabilities live together, established in 2018 to address the increasing severity and aging of disabilities. Kyodo Seikatsu Enjo is a category of welfare services for people with disabilities stipulated by the Act on Comprehensive Support for Persons with Disabilities, and includes four types: comprehensive care service type, daytime service support type, external service utilization type, and satellite type.
(※2) A short-term stay facility is a facility that is mandated to be co-located with a daytime service support type facility, providing emergency temporary support for people with disabilities living in the community.
(※3) A unit is a living unit equipped with facilities necessary for residents' lives (private rooms, dining room/living room, kitchen, bath, toilet, washroom, etc.), with one unit accommodating 2 to 10 people.
(※4) In Kyodo Seikatsu Enjo, the number of staff (employees who support users) and placement standards are determined by the number of users and disability support classification, with at least one staff member required during night and late-night hours. Social Inclu Home generally operates with a two-person system during night and late-night hours, but it may be one person depending on staffing circumstances.
