Consulting business centered on the Silver Age Research Center
Japan forecasts that in 2015 the percentage of the population over 65 years old will reach 26%. Projections indicate that the number of elderly suffering from senile dementia will be 2.5 million, 1.68 times greater than in 2000, giving rise to a steady increase in demand for construction of medical and nursing care facilities. In the construction division's medical and nursing care business, total consulting - from surveys and research in the medical, senior nursing care and welfare fields to planning, construction and management plans is being undertaken, principally at the Company's Silver Age Research Center. Among these activities, sales began of the two-story for-fee senior home product "Daiwa Reanju," and the three-story for-fee senior home product "Daiwa Reanju Sopra" as 50-year anniversary products that can be said to be the compilation of the knowledge and technologies amassed since the founding of the Silver Age Research Center.
Towards the coming aging society
It is anticipated that Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare policies relating to medical and care facilities and legal reforms, in particular the reform of the Medical Law and Nursing Care Insurance Law, scheduled to take effect in April 2006, will have a major impact on medical- and nursing care-related facilities and will lead to a shift from large-scale care facilities to small multi-functional facilities and satellite elderly nursing homes. As a result, ahead of the full-fledged shift to a "grayer" society, we develop our business in such as way as to meet the fragmented needs of users and to respond to the direction of legal reforms and policies of regulatory authorities. We are also researching the market to make a wide range of proposals to society in the field of facilities for senior citizens in good health and welfare businesses for other people.
