Japan Elderly Care Service

What Japan Elderly Care Service does

Japan Elderly Care Service Inc. (株式会社日本エルダリーケアサービス) is a privately held, for-profit provider of elderly care services founded in 1998 and headquartered in Minato-ku, Tokyo. The company operates a four-pillar care platform: (1) Home-visit Care (訪問介護) delivered at 75 locations via home helpers providing physical and life assistance to home-dwelling elderly; (2) Home Care Support (居宅介護支援) at 26 offices, where certified care managers author individualized care plans and coordinate service delivery; (3) Day Care (通所介護) branded as 'Yurinoki' (デイホームゆりの木) across 13 facilities in Kanto and Osaka, offering rehabilitation, bathing, meals, recreation and a proprietary functional training program ('Iiyashi no Rehabilitation' 癒しのリハビリ); and (4) a non-insurance Life Support Service (暮らし応援サービス) providing self-pay daily-life assistance such as hospital accompaniment, gardening, and pet care in 16 prefectures.

The core technology is a designated-provider care services platform operating under Japan's Long-Term Care Insurance (介護保険) regulatory framework, with reimbursement calculated via published care fee unit rates (utilization × unit count × regional coefficient). The company operates 114 locations nationwide spanning Hokkaido to Kyushu, employs 1,793 people (including 418 regular employees), and demonstrates above-industry workforce retention (30% of staff with 10+ years tenure, 1.5x the industry average). Affiliated with Solasto (株式会社ソラスト) under the JECS GROUP, the company maintains a 'people-first' management philosophy with verified ESG outcomes including 84.8% female workforce representation, 93.6% gender pay ratio, and 100% male childcare leave uptake.

The business model is primarily usage-based, driven by Long-Term Care Insurance reimbursements for qualified care recipients, supplemented by the self-pay Kurashi Ouen service at uniform national rates of ¥3,850/hour (life support), ¥4,620/hour (physical care), and ¥2,750/hour (in-hospital accompaniment), plus early-morning, night, late-night, and Sunday/holiday surcharges of 25%, 25%, 50%, and 35% respectively. Pricing for insurance-based services is publicly set and non-negotiable per the Japanese fee schedule. The go-to-market is sales-led through dedicated recruitment consultation centers, official website content, and referral partnerships with platforms such as 'Keano Navi' covering both client acquisition (0120-808-563) and recruitment (0120-808-314). The primary customer is the insured elderly individual receiving designated care plus their family members — a long-tail, distributed base with no disclosed enterprise-level customer concentration.
