Plus Inc. Introduces New End-of-Life Support Service

On April 1, 2026, Plus Inc., based in Minato-ku, Tokyo, will roll out its new end-of-life support service for care and welfare facilities. This initiative, targeting member facilities of its Smart Care delivery service, aims to provide comprehensive assistance for individuals planning their end-of-life arrangements. This partnership with Tia Corporation, headquartered in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, promises to enhance the quality of life and provide peace of mind for both residents and their families.

The Smart Care service has been focused on addressing the latent challenges faced by care facilities. The goal is to strengthen the services provided to users while enabling facility staff to concentrate on their core caregiving responsibilities. By collaborating with Tia, which specializes in total life design, Plus aims to introduce crucial end-of-life support that discusses various topics such as inheritance, real estate procedures, and asset management. With this framework, users and their families can alleviate concerns and burdens during difficult times.

The end-of-life support service is designed to relieve care staff of the burdens that arise from end-of-life consultations, which can often become personalized inquiries or fall outside their areas of expertise. This development will help them to refocus on their essential duties—a critical need in today's care facilities.

Service Coverage

The end-of-life support will be available across a range of prefectures including Aichi, Mie, Tokyo, Saitama, Chiba, and Osaka for matters like wills and pre-life consultations. In addition, long-term elderly support will also extend to Aichi and Mie Prefectures. It’s important to note that there are plans for gradual nationwide expansion.

Service Offerings

The service will include consultations for adult guardians, inheritance procedures, changes in real estate ownership, personal guarantee, and more, all facilitated by Tia's specialists at no charge for initial consultations. Depending on the context, Tia will collaborate with local authorities, hospitals, and lawyers to offer a comprehensive support system for their clients.
