Eustyle Home Sendai Hiyoridai: A New Era of Care in Miyagi

In a significant move to enhance the quality of life for individuals with severe disabilities, Eustyle Laboratory Co., Ltd. has launched its first daytime support group home, Eustyle Home Sendai Hiyoridai, in Miyagi Prefecture on February 1, 2026. This establishment aims to address the pressing issue of unavailable spaces for those with severe physical, intellectual, and mental disabilities, reaffirming the company’s commitment to delivering necessary care to all who need it.

Located at 14-9 Hiyoridai, Taihaku Ward, Sendai, the new facility works in conjunction with the existing intensive home care service, Eustyle Care Miyagi, which has been operating in the area since 2022. This strategic alignment allows the company to offer diverse living options and better support to severely disabled individuals and their families in the region.

Responding to National Needs

The Japanese government has been advocating for the transition of disabled individuals from institutionalized care to community-based services. This shift aligns with the ratification of the Convention on the Rights of Persons with Disabilities, pushing for a re-evaluation of the care model in light of the country’s changing demographics.

Group homes are categorized into three types: inclusive care services, external service utilization type, and daytime support type. The latter offers round-the-clock support and allows residents to stay within the facility throughout the day. Since its implementation in 2018, this type of service has become crucial in responding to the needs of a population with considerable disabilities who require continuous support.

Despite the evident demand, less than 10% of current group homes are classified under this daytime support type, highlighting a gap that Eustyle Home Sendai Hiyoridai aims to bridge.

Meeting the Demand in Sendai

Eustyle Home Sendai Hiyoridai is designed to cater to the noticeable demand for accommodation among individuals with severe disabilities within Sendai—a designated city facing significant shortfalls in housing for this demographic. Last year, the home received positive feedback during its open house events, with over 60 groups expressing interest. Many prospective residents are eager to secure space, illustrating the scarcity of facilities that can accommodate individuals with profound intellectual, mental, or physical disabilities.

The home is not only accepting new residents but also features specialized rooms for short-term stays to accommodate emergency situations, ensuring families receive the respite they need, and maintaining a safety net within the community.

An Expert Approach to Care

Since its founding in 2012, Eustyle Laboratory has specialized in care for severe disabilities and chronic illnesses. The new home in Miyagi expands its outreach, utilizing expertise cultivated through existing services like Eustyle Care. Training provided through Eustyle College ensures that staff are well-equipped to handle various medical care needs, from suctioning to behavioral support.

Eustyle Home Sendai Hiyoridai is committed to delivering unmatched quality in care, including:

• - 24/7 Support: Tailored assistance around the clock for all residents.
• - Short Stay Facilities: Areas designated for short-term care, facilitating immediate needs in collaboration with child welfare services.
• - Nutritional Support: Meals are prepared under the guidance of registered dietitians, ensuring a balanced diet.
• - Health Management: Comprehensive support that includes medication management, vital checks, and medical coordination.
• - Recreational Activities: Providing stimulating experiences ranging from exercise to arts and community events.

Looking Ahead

Eustyle Home Sendai Hiyoridai is just the beginning. The company is planning to open over 20 new facilities nationwide by the end of 2026, aiming to surpass 50 locations by 2027. Through these initiatives, Eustyle Laboratory is dedicated to fostering an inclusive society where individuals with severe disabilities can lead fulfilling lives in their communities.

As Japan continues along the path of enhancing support for disabled individuals, facilities like Eustyle Home Sendai Hiyoridai represent a pivotal step toward achieving a society that genuinely cares for all its members.
