The collaborative efforts of two pioneering organizations, Seirei Welfare Organization, which operates the Eden no Sono assisted living facility in Hamamatsu, Shizuoka, and the Japan Foundation for the Elderly Welfare, which runs the Yuuyuu no Sato facility in Chuo Ward, Tokyo, are set to culminate in the Fifth Practical Research Presentation Conference for Senior Homes. Scheduled for July 11, 2026, the event will take place at the Entetsu Hall in Hamamatsu.

This conference aims to enhance the quality of service provided in senior living facilities.
