We always struggle to fully

satisfy the basis of their lives:

We would like to create the similar home environment to our occupants and users

as much as possible. Thereby we sincerely hope to form “a large FAMILY” with our customers,

their families and our local residents.

so that each of our occupants and users can live easily and safely.

This strong obsession is “the way of Furusato,” and we are proud of this advantage against other elderly nursing homes.

The old fashioned elderly nursing homes had been imaged of something like hospitals before establishing Furusato. Staffs in white robes used to provide the nursing care in white, colorless rooms in those traditional facilities.

Then we started from coloring the clothes for staffs. We raised the ideal of humane staffs like family in colorful plain clothes, welcoming our customers with heartfelt smiles.

We have been ideal of providing “meals at home” since our establishment.

In order to make our meals tastes better and LOOKS MORE DELICIOUS, we have devised various ways and means: fastidious food ingredients, selectable main dishes, and so on

We will continue the perpetual quest for food from now on as the elderly nursing home with delicious meals which everyone is looking forward to.

We repeated trial and error to

provide the meal particular about

"the beautiful appearance," not to mention "taste" and "a texture."

We offer the menu mainly on “the soft food-or Nansai-shoku in Japanese,

” which is cooked after softening ingredients by a function of enzyme liquid.

Indeed it takes the trouble to pickle ingredients for a long time and using the pressure cooker,

but we would like our occupants and users who are weak in chewing or swallowing to regain joy to eat.

In addition, we have used tableware made by ceramics since establishment all the time for 19 years. These are parts of our efforts to offer “the meals at home” so that everyone can lengthen their chopsticks to them without thinking, saying "Ooh! It looks delicious!"

Aging reduces the chewing power

and causes loss of the ability to

swallow, so we have to provide

the soft meals which are easy to

manducate.

However, if you face the chopped up and minced meals with no trace of their original forms, you will probably lose appetite.

These are the staffs in our

 kitchen contributing for

our splendid meals.

They successfully made

"Soft food" come true.

Furthermore, we also add the advantage of “elaboration” and “bond,” ― or “Kodawari” and “Kizuna” in Japanese ― to our house, Furusato!

In Furusato, however, we fix the environment of the living by new type of “3K”―

“clean,” “comfortable” and “relax,”(“Kirei,” “Kaiteki” and “Kutsurogi” in Japanese.)

Nobody wants to live in the "3K" environment mentioned above.

Besides, there cannot be the person who wants to work there.

"It’s very nice to live in a clean place!"

"I'm so jealous of you such in a clean workplace!"

We make the new type of"3K"―

"clean” or “Kirei," "elaboration" or “Kodawari”  and "bond" or “Kizuna,” so that all people concerned with us

are said so from their  surroundings.

It might not be very unusual, but

we have wrestled since establishment positively as a challenge to the

new "3K,"

including the odor control

with the ozone deodorization device,

the carefully selected furniture,

a floor with a carpet,

the living with the therapy dog and the use of the products made in ceramics tableware.

We have to provide the care services in accordance with the individual's physical condition as professionals.

Those skills, however, cannot be obtained by learning with a manual.

Our staffs can mature into professionals of the nursing care step by step

while working in Furusato. Here are many coworkers who support their improvement each other.

Study sessions

Study sessions planned and run by the training Committee are held once a month so that every staff can acquire knowledge needed as the on-site staff, including the things about the care techniques and institutional care system.

We take up the different themes every time such as the change of a system, laws and ordinances, the problems that happened in other nursing facilities

of the whole country, and share information through associated pictures and reports with all the participants.

Like the present times, we are glad if young people choose "the nursing care" as their occupation. It is a fact, however, that we will hold the problem for personnel trainings of the nursing care ahead in Japan of the aging society with fewer children.

In the background in such times, we Furusato will pay more attention to the personnel trainings for the future of the nursing care in Japan.

We would like our occupants to live their lives, not to change with their past livings.

We would like our users to spend like at home.

We are particular about "healings" different in each person to snuggle up to the past lives and personalities of more one in Furusato.

In Furusato, there are therapy dogs

all the time from the establishment.

Some users come to our day service in

order to see these dogs.

Even if our users come here for the

first time, don’t feel at ease or hesitate

to communicate with others a little,

they will be "releaved" in the face

of the adorable behaviors of the dogs

and will makes the natural smiles.

The hands of the person have a

mysterious power.

In our "day service center Furusato

in Arase," we have established the

exclusive massage space and offer aroma massages.

The hands of the person who you can

permit a heart are only put on

your shoulder quietly, and then don’t you

feel the "relaxed" moment?
