Core offering

Full Life is a community-based welfare services company that delivers integrated in-home care to elderly and disabled individuals across Yokohama and Kawasaki. Its core offerings include care plan creation, home help, designated night-time home-visit care, regular patrol and on-call home-visit care nursing, guide help for disabled persons, visiting nursing, and welfare equipment rental and sales — all reimbursed primarily through Japan's national long-term care insurance and disability welfare systems. Services are coordinated through 13 branch offices and an ICT-enabled terminal monitoring system that allows 24/365 dispatch of home helpers and nurses on demand.

Product overview

Full Life is a comprehensive welfare services company offering a coordinated portfolio of nine distinct service lines. The core offering is built around a care plan creation service (ケアプラン作成サービス) that develops individualized care plans as the planning foundation, supported by six direct care delivery services: home help (ホームヘルプ), designated night-time home-visit care (指定夜間対応型訪問介護), regular patrol and on-call home-visit care nursing (指定定期巡回・随時対応型訪問介護看護), guide help for persons with disabilities (ガイドヘルプサービス), visiting nursing (訪問看護サービス), and welfare equipment rental/sales (福祉用具レンタル販売). Services are organized under two program categories — long-term care insurance (介護保険サービス) and disability welfare services (障害福祉サービス) — and delivered through a network of 13 offices across Yokohama and Kawasaki cities. The company was founded in 1995 (Heisei 7) and employs 701 staff as of May 2023.
