New Group Home Opens in Toride City

On September 1st, Social Inclusion launched a new group home named "Social Inclusion Home Shin-Toride" in Toride City, Ibaraki Prefecture. This initiative is aimed at providing individuals with severe disabilities the opportunity to live independently while receiving necessary support. It's the first of its kind in Toride City, designed to help residents lead a fulfilling life within the community.

The facility was established with the commitment of a landowner who values social contribution and aims to create a supportive living environment next to a senior welfare facility. This location ensures that residents have access to a community network that enriches their local living experience. Recently, there has been a growing need in Toride City for facilities that cater to day service-supported group living, since no such homes have opened in the area in recent years. The Social Inclusion Home aims to work closely with local authorities to expand the options available for those with severe disabilities, promoting a secure and continued residency in the community.

Supporting Independent Living

Social Inclusion, Inc. (Headquarters: Shinagawa, Tokyo, CEO: Nobuchika Matsushita) operates under the guiding principle of creating a society where individuals with disabilities face no barriers in housing. They currently provide group homes across the country based on the comprehensive support law for individuals with disabilities.

Enhancing Living Conditions for People with Disabilities

Group homes for individuals with disabilities are essential infrastructures that facilitate safe living and support welfare and employment services. However, the options for housing remain limited. Many individuals require continuous support during their daily lives, making solitary living a challenge. Concerns about what happens when parents can no longer provide care further complicate the matter.

The newly opened Social Inclusion Home provides a vital foundation for individuals facing these housing challenges, allowing them to live safely within their community. By receiving appropriate support tailored to their individual needs, residents can achieve independence while enjoying a familiar environment.

Understanding the Social Inclusion Home Shin-Toride

1. Day Service Supported Group Home: This innovative group home caters specifically to individuals with severe or aging-related disabilities who require ongoing support throughout the day. The facility offers 24/7 assistance, ensuring individuals can maintain their daily routines without interruption. Additionally, a short-term accommodation facility is available, providing a temporary stay for residents’ family members during emergencies or when respite is needed.

2. Tailored Support for Individual Needs: Recognizing that each individual has specific requirements, the home provides 24/7 assistance based on the specific conditions of residents. Beyond routine help with daily activities such as bathing and personal care, nutritious meals tailored to each resident's dietary needs are provided, including options for blended diets and rice porridge. Staff accompany residents for health check-ups and shopping trips, while also organizing leisure activities within the facility that suit the residents’ preferences. Financial management assistance is provided as necessary, reinforcing the goal of supporting independent living. Each new resident undergoes thorough assessments conducted by qualified staff to ensure personalized care and support that align with their individual circumstances, leading to the creation of a customized support plan.

3. Robust Operational Support System: The day service supported group home operates under strict legislative guidelines that dictate staffing levels and facility standards. The home employs a two-staff member system during night hours to provide round-the-clock monitoring and support. The physical premise is built with accessibility in mind, featuring barrier-free designs, accessible restrooms, and bathroom lifts, ensuring wheelchair users can navigate the home safely. Additionally, security measures like surveillance cameras and sprinkler systems ensure safety for all residents.

Commitment to Quality Support

Social Inclusion, Inc. operates 354 facilities nationwide (as of the end of August 2026), systematically gathering and analyzing operational know-how from various regions. This knowledge is utilized to create manuals and training programs aimed at delivering consistent and high-quality support across different communities. Their vision is to provide care that maintains a uniform standard, addressing local challenges effectively and ensuring that every individual has access to reliable housing and care.

Through continued collaboration with local communities, Social Inclusion aspires to play a pivotal role in fostering an environment where everyone can live safely and authentically.
