Ikegami Choujuen Introduces Flat Rate Rental Packs for Care Facilities

Ikegami Choujuen Initiates Facility Rental Packs to Elevate Care Quality

On October 1, 2025, Ikegami Choujuen, a prominent social welfare corporation based in Ota City, Tokyo, will commence the implementation of a new flat rate rental service aimed at care facilities, known as the "Facility Rental Pack." This service is provided in partnership with Colors Co., Ltd., also headquartered in Ota City. The initiative is designed to tackle long-standing issues related to the appropriate use of wheelchairs and improve the quality of life (QOL) for residents in care facilities.

As demand for aging population support continues to increase, the maintenance and management of welfare equipment within care facilities have become significant challenges, exacerbated by a shortage of qualified personnel. Until now, facilities had to purchase and maintain necessary welfare tools, leading to rising management costs and equipment aging issues. In response to these challenges, the introduction of the Facility Rental Pack will help facilities reduce costs related to equipment replacement and maintenance.

Key Features of the Rental Pack

1. Customizable Equipment Selection: The service allows facilities to choose equipment tailored to their specific needs, creating an original flat rate package.

2. Equipment Replacement: In case of product issues due to contamination or aging, facilities can exchange equipment without incurring additional costs.

3. Personalized Adjustments: Adjustments and fittings for welfare tools will be conducted to suit individual users' needs during the introduction phase or when there are changes in the users.

4. Regular Maintenance Services: The service includes periodic maintenance to promptly address issues with welfare tools, which can prevent further complications.

5. Professional Consultations: Facilities can consult with specialists, including physical therapists and occupational therapists, about welfare equipment.

By ensuring the proper selection and use of welfare equipment, Ikegami Choujuen aims to support improvements in users' activity levels and daily comfort. The introduction of the Facility Rental Pack marks a significant step forward in addressing the persistent challenges faced by care facilities and ensuring high-quality service delivery.
