Comprehensive Senior Life Support

「In the home healthcare business operated by Medistep, the expansion of the number of users, measured on an annual cumulative basis, is a key metric. During the current interim consolidated accounting period, the number of users continued to exceed both the initial plan and the year-earlier period. We also opened 2 new offices and strengthened cooperation with hospitals' discharge-support and regional-coordination departments. As a result, progress was made toward building a seamless healthcare delivery system covering acute care, recovery care and home care, and efforts to strengthen cooperation with medical institutions are proceeding smoothly.」

「We acquired all shares of Gplus Inc., which operates a real estate consulting business, and made it a wholly owned subsidiary to address issues relating to real estate owned by seniors and their families.」

「Our consolidated subsidiary Airlife works with Gplus Inc., which joined the Group at the end of the first quarter, to provide one-stop support ranging from the selection of residences and facilities to care consultations and the sale and management of assets. By adding Medistep, which provides home-care services including home-visit nursing and in-home care support, we will strengthen our system for comprehensively supporting seniors' living environments.」

「The Group can provide one-stop services ranging from consultations on moving into a residence and facility referrals to accepting people requiring care, providing care and supporting daily life. This reduces lost opportunities while building win-win relationships with residents and generating synergies across the Group's businesses.」
