Admin’s Note

The establishment of shared housing for the elderly is a highly meaningful initiative for the community. Especially in depopulated areas, it is essential to have places where seniors can live safely and comfortably. As Chako mentioned, the provision of care services can greatly enhance the quality of life for the elderly. Moreover, this initiative can contribute to the revitalization of the local community, which is why it is understandable that local governments welcome this plan. I look forward to seeing the concrete developments in the future.
