Hibari no Mori Visiting Nursing contributes to society and the community, supports the daily lives of those who need home medical care and nursing care, and strives to help them live their days with a smile and peace of mind. We are a "good understanding" for each and every one of you, from those who are highly dependent on medical care, those who need preventive care, and from children to the elderly, and do our best to provide "high-quality medical and nursing care services" in collaboration with multiple professions.

On the other hand, high-quality home medical care and nursing care are very "important" for home care recipients to live "their own way" in the area they are familiar with and maintain and improve their QOL, but we cannot say that it is "sufficient." We believe that it is our mission to create a living environment where people can have fulfilled their hopes and wishes and feel satisfied, rather than giving up on the fun and joy of living as a consumer. With our passion, wisdom and ability to make it a reality, we are committed to providing non-insurance lifestyle support services so that each and every one of you can live a life filled with purpose and hope forever.

The lifestyle support services are being provided primarily by staff from the Management Headquarters in cooperation with office staff, but as they are being provided at the same time as regular work, it is not easy to find enough time.

We are creating systems to improve operational efficiency at a company-wide level (digitalization, outsourcing indirect work, developing manuals and training systems, etc.), but for life support services, the series of tasks is diverse and considerable, including planning, information gathering, research and analysis, detailed consideration of the services to be provided, formulation of implementation plans, confirmation of legal and insurance matters, development and identification of external contractors and consultations and discussions, creation of contracts, documents, tools, etc., public relations to the local community and outside the company, development of internal operations and manuals, internal training (with the cooperation of external contractors as necessary), accounting and information management, practical operations with internal and external contractors, identification and improvement of issues after operations begin, etc. In order to expand the quality and quantity of the life support services currently being provided and actively develop and deploy new services and products, it is necessary to hire and assign a dedicated person within the Management Headquarters. First, "We hope to cover the labor costs of a dedicated staff member through crowdfunding!"

[Lifestyle support services (examples)]

- Creation of a "Home Care Guide": For those who are about to start home care or who want to improve their current care life, we have created a "Home Care Guide" that compiles all the information that will be useful for home care.

- Providing information on government and local government services: We provide information on "daily life equipment subsidies," "home renovation subsidies," "bed drying," "outing support," "disposable diaper subsidies," "dementia support," "disaster prevention support," "disaster relief," and "community cafes (town cafes and dementia cafes)."

- Visiting (pick-up and drop-off) hairdressing services: Going out to the hairdressing salon is a hassle, and you're worried about your physical condition and the weather on the day, so have you given up? A nearby hairdresser will visit your home and perform a cut, shampoo, blow dry, perm, color, etc. (wheelchair and bed are also OK). Wig consultations are also available. If your hair and appearance are well-groomed, you will feel brighter during your recuperation (and you may smile more every day).

- Visiting eyeglasses and hearing aid service: Improving your eyesight and hearing will prevent falls and improve the inconvenience of daily phone calls and conversations with your family (some research reports have shown that using hearing aids can improve dementia). Affiliated eyeglass stores will visit you at home and make suggestions after counseling and examinations.

- End-of-life counseling: While we are devoting all our efforts to improving the quality of life of your recuperation, this is something that you and your family may not want to mention (or say). If you have any worries or concerns, we will consult with you.

- Provision of disaster prevention information and advice: It is important to prepare and take measures in advance to minimize damage from disasters such as earthquakes, storms, floods, infectious diseases, and communication failures, and to assume situations such as leaving the house or evacuating. It is also necessary to keep a list of emergency contacts for medical equipment dealers, hospitals, primary care physicians, care managers, visiting nurses, etc., where you usually receive services.
