– Observing the smart cognitive and rehabilitation program at the Caring Day Care Center
-Visit to Caring Stay, a senior living space equipped with an AI-based real-time fall detection system
Senior care specialist company Caring (CEO Taesung Kim) announced on the 16th that Japanese nursing service company Sompocare visited Caring Day Care Center and Caring Stay, an urban paid nursing facility, last month to observe Korea’s senior care site utilizing IT technology.
Caring has applied digital healthcare solutions to nursing facilities so that the elderly can receive the care they need proactively. Caring Day Care Center Yongin Giheung Branch operates smart cognitive and rehabilitation programs such as Comker and Silver Gym, and Caring Stay Pocheon Gwangneung Arboretum Branch is equipped with a real-time monitoring system based on AI cameras and intelligent sensors to prevent safety accidents for the elderly.
Sompocare observed musculoskeletal rehabilitation and dementia prevention programs at a day care center, and at Caring Stay, they looked at the intelligent AI CCTV system installed to prevent falls and toured major amenities including the living space, common living room, physical therapy room, whirlpool spa room, steam room/foot bath room, and GX room. In particular, they showed great interest in smart care facilities and deeply sympathized with the need for changes in the environment for senior care.
Sompocare is a specialized nursing and welfare service company under Japan's largest non-life insurance group, Sompo Holdings, and operates a full life cycle care service for the elderly, including home nursing, day care, and paid nursing homes. The number of elderly people cared for by Sompocare across Japan is approximately 85,000.
Kazuhiro Saito, leader of Sompocare Senior Division, said, “I was impressed by the fact that seniors were happily participating in the smart cognitive and rehabilitation program and that IT technology was being actively utilized,” and added, “As both Korea and Japan have entered super-aging societies, I would like to continue to expand exchanges between our two companies in the future to contribute to creating a better care environment.”
Kim Tae-seong, CEO of Caring, said, “The elderly population in need of care is rapidly increasing, but there is a severe lack of care options that suit the health and living conditions of the elderly.” He added, “We will further develop Caring’s own senior care service model through exchanges with leading Japanese nursing industry companies that have already experienced the low birth rate and aging population.”
