Social Inclu Opens Group Home in Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture on May 1st: "Independent Living for People with Severe Disabilities"

Social Inclu Co., Ltd. has opened "Social Inclu Home Izumo Tsunematsucho," a residence where people with severe disabilities who require daily support can live independently while receiving assistance, in Tsunematsucho, Izumo City, Shimane Prefecture.

"Social Inclu Home Izumo Tsunematsucho" is a daytime service support type group home, and it is the first "Social Inclu Home" to open in Izumo City.

In Shimane Prefecture, the number of daytime service support group homes is small, and there has been a demand for the development of residences that can accommodate people with severe disabilities. This facility is conveniently located near Izumo Airport, while also being blessed with a rich natural environment, providing a safe living environment for its residents.

With the opening of this facility, options for people with severe disabilities to live in the community will expand, and it will support the independent and rich lives of residents in an environment that harmonizes nature and convenience.

Social Inclu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Nobuchika Matsushita), the operating company, is developing "Social Inclu Home" group homes for people with disabilities nationwide based on the philosophy of "creating a society where 'zero' people with disabilities are troubled by housing."

Group Homes for People with Disabilities are Welfare Infrastructure Supporting Secure Living

While there are various welfare support and employment services to help people with disabilities live securely, housing options remain limited. This is due to challenges such as difficulty living alone for those who need 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.

Group homes for people with disabilities are facilities that serve as a foundation for supporting the lives of people with disabilities who face housing challenges and anxieties, enabling them to live in their communities.

Group homes for people with disabilities play an important role as a system that allows people with disabilities to achieve independent living by receiving necessary support and continue to live securely in their familiar communities.

Social Inclu Co., Ltd. is committed to solving the social issue of housing shortages for people with severe disabilities by supporting the lives and promoting the independence of people with disabilities through the operation of group homes for people with disabilities.

What is Social Inclu Home Izumo Tsunematsucho?

1. Daytime Service Support Type Group Home for People with Disabilities A daytime service support type group home is a group home for people with disabilities where individuals who require continuous support during the day, such as those with severe disabilities or elderly individuals with disabilities, can live while receiving 24-hour, 365-day daily life support. (*1)

Since it also has an attached short-term stay facility (*2), individuals other than residents can also use it as a temporary accommodation when their families go out, need rest, or in emergencies.

2. Support Content Tailored to Disability Characteristics To enable people with severe disabilities to lead independent lives, support tailored to their disability conditions will be provided 24 hours a day.

In addition to daily life support such as bathing and excretion, meals are prepared according to the residents' needs, including nutritionally balanced menus, blended foods, and porridge, and meal assistance is provided to those who require it. Health management and medication management are performed daily, and staff accompany residents to hospital visits and shopping. During the day, leisure activities tailored to the residents are provided within the facility. Financial management necessary for daily life is also supported, thereby assisting the residents' independent daily lives.

Before admission, specialized staff will interview residents about their disability conditions and the assistance required for daily life, and create individualized support plans tailored to each person's wishes and disability conditions. After admission, a system is in place to quickly grasp changes in condition through continuous observation and recording of daily life, progress, and経過. 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. Operational System Supporting a Secure Living Environment Daytime service support type group homes are subject to legally stipulated operational standards, including staff placement and facility equipment. A system of 24-hour monitoring and support is required to support the lives of those who need assistance day and night. Facility equipment adopts a barrier-free design, and the development of a living environment tailored to disability conditions 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 shifts. (*4)

In addition, the building was newly constructed for the opening of the group home, and includes barrier-free toilets and entrance.
