"For individuals with severe disabilities to live independently" Social Inclu opens a group home in Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture on July 1st

We have opened "Social Inclu Home Niigata Maki," a residence where individuals with severe disabilities who require support in daily life can live independently with assistance, in Nishi-Kan Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture.

"Social Inclu Home Niigata Maki" is a group home with daytime service support, and it is the fifth "Social Inclu Home" facility in Niigata City.

The demand for daytime service support is high in Niigata City, and the opening of this facility further expands the acceptance system, broadening the options for housing for individuals with severe disabilities to live in the community. Furthermore, the facility is blessed with a rich natural environment compared to existing facilities, supporting a fulfilling life for our residents.

This facility will continue to leverage the collaborative relationships with local governments cultivated so far, and by establishing a support system that is responsive to local needs, we will support the independent lives of our residents.

Our operating company, Social Inclu Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Shinagawa Ward, Tokyo; President: Nobuchika Matsushita), operates "Social Inclu Home," a group home for people with disabilities under the Act on Support for Persons with Disabilities, with the philosophy of "Creating a society where there are zero people with disabilities struggling with housing."

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

While various welfare support and employment services exist to ensure people with disabilities can live with peace of mind, housing options remain limited. This is due to challenges such as the need for daily living support making independent living difficult, concerns about "after parents are gone" even when living with family, and regional disparities in support systems and acceptance frameworks affecting ease of living based on location.

Group homes for people with disabilities serve as the foundation for community living for individuals facing challenges and anxieties regarding housing.

Group homes for people with disabilities play a crucial role as a system that enables individuals with disabilities to achieve independent living through necessary support and to continue living with peace of mind in their familiar communities.

Through the operation of group homes for people with disabilities, Social Inclu Co., Ltd. supports the lives of people with disabilities, promotes their independence, and addresses the social issue of housing shortages for those with severe disabilities.

What is Social Inclu Home Niigata Maki?

1. Group Home with Daytime Service Support A group home with daytime service support is a type of group home for people with disabilities where individuals requiring continuous support during the day, such as those with severe disabilities or elderly individuals with disabilities, can receive daily living support 24 hours a day, 365 days a year. (※1)

As a short-term stay facility (※2) is also attached, individuals other than residents can use it as a temporary accommodation when family members are away, need rest, or in emergencies.

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

In addition to daily living support such as bathing and toileting, meals are prepared with consideration for nutritional balance, including pureed meals and porridge, customized for residents, with meal assistance provided as needed. Health and medication management are conducted daily, and staff accompany residents to medical appointments and shopping. During the day, leisure activities are arranged to suit residents' preferences. We support residents' independent daily lives by assisting with the management of finances necessary for daily living.

Before admission, staff with specialized qualifications will conduct interviews regarding the individual's disability status and required daily assistance, and an individualized support plan will be created based on each person's wishes and disability status. After admission, a system is in place to quickly identify changes in condition through continuous observation and recording of daily life, progress, and transitions. Furthermore, support plans are reviewed more frequently than legally required, allowing for flexible responses to changes in wishes and conditions, ensuring optimal support is provided.

3. Operational Structure Supporting a Safe Living Environment Group homes with daytime service support have operational standards, including staffing levels and facility equipment, stipulated by law. A system for monitoring and support is required 24 hours a day to support the lives of those who need assistance day and night. Facility equipment must be barrier-free, and the living environment must be adapted to the individual's disability status.

Social Inclu Home's policy is to provide a support system exceeding legal requirements, such as a standard of two staff members per unit (※3) during nighttime hours. (※4)

Furthermore, the building is newly constructed for the group home, and it is barrier-free with accessible toilets, bathing lifts, entrance slopes, and elevators, allowing wheelchair users to live there. Security and disaster prevention equipment such as security cameras and sprinklers are also installed.

(※1) Daytime service support is a type of shared living support (group home) for people with disabilities, a service established in 2018 to address the increasing severity and aging of disabilities among people with disabilities. Shared living support is a category of welfare services for persons with disabilities stipulated in the Act on Support for Persons with Disabilities, and it consists of four types: comprehensive care type, daytime service support type, external service utilization type, and satellite type. (※2) A short-term stay facility is a facility that must be attached to a daytime service support facility and provides emergency temporary support for people with disabilities living in the community. (※3) A unit is a living unit equipped with necessary facilities (private rooms, dining/living room, kitchen, bath, toilet, washbasin, etc.) for residents, and one unit consists of 2 to 10 people. (※4) In shared living support, the number and placement standards for employees (staff supporting users) are determined by the number of users and their disability support classification. During nighttime and late-night hours, at least one staff member is required. Social Inclu Home's basic policy is a two-person system during nighttime and late-night hours, but it may be one person depending on staffing availability.
