ケアウェル安心株式会社

What ケアウェル安心株式会社 does

Carewell Anshin Co., Ltd. (ケアウェル安心株式会社) is a Japanese elderly care services provider headquartered in Kita-ku, Tokyo, operating across the Greater Tokyo metropolitan area. The company delivers three core service lines: welfare equipment rental and sales, home modification services, and home nursing care support delivered through certified care management offices. Operations span 7 welfare equipment showrooms and 10 care management offices across Tokyo, Kanagawa, Chiba, and Saitama prefectures, with operational roots dating to 1993 and formal incorporation in 2002 under the prior Pip Carewell Anshin brand before being renamed following the 2018 ownership change.

The company operates a B2C model targeting individual elderly consumers and their families, with revenue primarily generated through Japan's public long-term care insurance (介護保険) system, which reimburses approved providers for covered services. Welfare equipment is rented to insured end-users with monthly rental fees largely covered by the insurance program, supplemented by consumer co-payments. Care management offices coordinate home nursing care plans and direct clients to in-home services, with payment flowing through the same insurance framework. Carewell Anshin is a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nishiken Co., Ltd. (ニシケン), with stated capital of 98 million yen, and was rebranded from Pip Carewell Anshin following the 2018 ownership transition.

Recent activity signals continued focus on core services, including a 2020 divestiture of the facility services business to Earth Support, the 2022 opening of Carewell Support Izumi as a new care management office, and a 2024 publication of Rental Catalog Vol. 25, indicating steady product refresh and incremental geographic build-out within Greater Tokyo.
