Eustyle Care Comes to Aomori: A New Hope for Severe Disabilities
Eustyle Laboratory Inc., based in Nakano, Tokyo, has taken a significant step by launching its first in-home care service for severe disabilities in Aomori City, marking a hopeful turn for families managing complex health needs.
On October 1, 2025, Eustyle Care Aomori initiated its exclusive severe home care service, standing by its mission of delivering essential care to all who need it. With a focus on providing comprehensive welfare services, this facility aims to support individuals with severe disabilities and illnesses. The service promotes a sense of security and comfort, primarily facilitating at-home living conditions for those affected by severe conditions.
Service Coverage and Expansion
The services will cater to residents throughout Aomori City, as well as Hirosaki and Tsugaru. Plans for expansion into other areas, such as Hachinohe, Shimokita, and Kamijuson, are already underway. This move reflects the growing demand for tailored support in the region, especially as the aging population increases and the prevalence of severe disabilities rises.
According to the Aomori Prefectural Welfare Service Plan, the demand for home care services, particularly for severe disabilities, is crucial. Projections indicate that by the fiscal year of 2028, the number of individuals using home-based services is expected to swell to 3,237 from 2,843, demonstrating a 14% growth. Specific services targeting severe disabilities, such as those available in the Aomori area, anticipate an increase of 22.1% in usage rates over this period.
Understanding Severe Home Care Services
Severe home care services are designed for individuals suffering from significant disabilities who require ongoing care. Unlike standard home assistance services providing short-term support, these services offer 24/7 comprehensive care that includes medical attention, ensuring recipients receive professional help regardless of the time of day.
Although the Severe Disability Comprehensive Support Act was enacted in 2014, the awareness and accessibility of these services remain low within the welfare sector, leaving many individuals underserved.
Eustyle Laboratory strives to change the narrative by significantly extending its support network across the Tohoku region, including similar facilities in Iwate, Miyagi, Yamagata, and Fukushima. They also emphasize the integration of innovative care models to enhance service deliverability.
Needs for Medical Care Support in Aomori
Recent data highlight the necessity for enhanced support systems for medically dependent children in Aomori. As of April 1, 2025, 170 medically dependent children are recorded in the region, prompting calls for comprehensive assistance beyond standard caregiving. Eustyle Care is proactively addressing these needs by collaborating with local governments to provide extended support for children under 18 unable to access severe home care services.
Collectively, the community has communicated a strong preference for self-sufficiency and familial cohabitation, with 57.2% indicating a desire to live at home with family, emphasizing the importance of tailored assistance within their living environments.
