Joining the 100BLG Project

100BLG Corporation is on a mission to establish 100 BLG sites across the country. This initiative aims to challenge existing perceptions surrounding dementia and elderly care in Japan.

Benefits of Joining BLG

Participating in BLG changes the narrative surrounding care for individuals with dementia. The organization fosters an environment where what is possible becomes the norm, and where new challenges can be embraced. Members can rediscover basic communication skills that might have been lost after experiencing dementia or requiring care. By facilitating the desires and aspirations of users, BLG not only enhances user satisfaction but also improves operational rates.

Furthermore, increased visibility within the community and among care managers can lead to better matching of user needs and attract targeted clientele.
