Sumitomo Forestry provides long-term care for the elderly through Sumirin Fill Care Co., Ltd. (Shinjuku-ku, Tokyo) and Sumirin Care Life Co. (Chuo-ku, Kobe).
Sumirin Fill Care provides comprehensive services to each resident through staff arrangement that exceeds the number required under nursing care insurance standards. In May 2018, Gran Forest Nerima-Takamatsu opened as the 16th private-pay elderly care facility, with nursing care and day services. The facility provides 766 living spaces through Sumirin Fill Care. During the three years since fiscal 2016, it has added 322 living rooms to the total by opening five private-pay elderly care facilities with nursing care within the 23 wards of metropolitan Tokyo and one facility in Kobe. The company is operating a total of three day-care facilities for the elderly.
Sumirin Care Life Co. has operated three large-scale private-pay elderly care facilities in Kobe that combine independent living and nursing care services up until now. Sumirin Care Life has at least double the number of staff on duty as required under nursing care insurance standards. With staff on site 24 hours a day, all facilities also include partnerships with participating general hospitals as part of the high level of overall service provided. The quality of service has earned high praise from external institutions. Elegano Nishinomiya, an elder residential facility with 309 living rooms and peripheral services, opened in Nishinomiya City, Hyogo Prefecture in May 2020. Elegano Nishinomiya brings the number of living spaces available in combination with the existing four facilities to a total of 998 rooms. The company also operates a total of seven Service Stations offering in-home nursing such as visiting nurse services, and day-care services.
The Mid-Term Sustainability Targets increase the total number of living spaces through the construction of new facilities with the goal of expanding service in the future.
