History
Founder Mitsuru Haruyama began developing products that consumers truly needed based on his own experience of losing motor function from the neck down due to an incurable disease, and also produced products in collaboration with Toyota and Panasonic. There, Haruyama, who also developed equipment for elderly care facilities, learned about the lives of the elderly in Japan, who had lost their dignity as human beings, and decided to turn their third life after retirement into ‘‘the best time of life.’’ With this aim, we created a lifestyle for the elderly in the form of a senior citizen facility.
After the death of our founder, Japan is currently facing the problem of a shortage of caregiving personnel to support the lives of the elderly. As a solution to this problem, we are working on education, introduction, and support projects for nursing care personnel with specific skills, and are striving to create a system that will enrich the home countries of foreign personnel while solving Japan’s aging problem.
