Strengthening Support for Barrier-Free Renovations

Hatch Healthcare, a subsidiary of Aflac Life Insurance, has officially partnered with Anabuki Digital Service Inc. to enhance their services. This collaboration aims to support barrier-free renovations through the "Life and Care Support" initiative that Hatch Healthcare operates. The plan is to assist the elderly and their families with comprehensive solutions for their caregiving and living concerns.

Overview of the Partnership

Anabuki Digital Service, headquartered in Shibuya, Tokyo, runs the Reform Guide, a service that connects clients with renovation companies to facilitate home improvements, particularly for those needing barrier-free adaptations. The aim is to provide a supportive environment for individuals contemplating retirement living. With expert concierges on hand—who are qualified care managers, social workers, and nurses—clients receive personalized consultations tailored to their unique circumstances.

The partnership enables clients using the "Life and Care Support" service to access the Reform Guide with special perks, enhancing the overall value proposition of both services.

Addressing Japan’s Aging Population Concerns

Japan faces an accelerating demographic shift, with the aging population becoming a significant societal challenge. According to projections from the National Institute of Population and Social Security Research, by 2070, it is estimated that one in approximately 2.6 people in Japan will be over 65. This suggests that the demand for barrier-free renovations will surge in the coming years.

Further analysis of renovation inquiries to the Reform Guide revealed that inquiries about barrier-free renovations are rapidly increasing. These adaptations, alongside energy-efficient and seismic retrofitting renovations, are receiving increasing attention from homeowners aiming to secure their living spaces against future needs.

The Need for Specialized Knowledge

Unlike standard renovations, barrier-free modifications require a deep understanding and expertise due to their specificity. Each project needs a tailored approach that caters to individual client needs—something that cannot be achieved without specialized knowledge. Additionally, navigating the complexities of caregiving insurance and various grant applications can be daunting for many homeowners, making it crucial to partner with companies that possess this expertise.

However, qualified professionals proficient in both renovation and caregiving regulations are scarce and often difficult to locate. To combat this, Reform Guide collaborates with established renovation companies that have a proven track record in barrier-free and caregiving renovations, ensuring a robust support network for their clients.

Client Testimonials

One satisfied client, a man in his 60s, expressed his relief after utilizing the services of Reform Guide: "As someone inexperienced in renovations, I was initially apprehensive, but the careful assessment and explanations provided by the team made me feel comfortable proceeding. They were transparent, and the budget was well managed. I was especially pleased with the outlined after-service guarantees, which confirmed that I was working with reputable professionals."

A Broader Vision

Through this partnership with "Life and Care Support," the aim is to provide a constructive service to individuals in need of care, caregivers looking for assistance, and those planning for future caregiving scenarios. The collaboration is expected to facilitate the creation of comfortable living conditions where everyone can thrive, contributing significantly to the discussion around Japan’s aging society.
