GOOD TIME LIVING Senri Hinatagaoka, a Private Nursing Home Combining ‘Nature,’ ‘Living’ and ‘Technology’ Holds Grand Opening on Saturday, November 1

Oct 27, 2014

TOKYO, Japan - October 27, 2014 - ORIX Living Corporation, a subsidiary of ORIX Corporation, today announced that GOOD TIME LIVING Senri Hinatagaoka, the 22nd facility in the GOOD TIME LIVING series, will hold a grand opening on Saturday, November 1, 2014. ORIX Living now operates 22 private nursing homes with a combined total of 1,864 rooms.

GOOD TIME LIVING Senri Hinatagaoka is situated in a convenient location, with its closest station being Senrioka on the JR Kyoto Line, which is 13 minutes* by train from Osaka Station and 22 minutes* from Kyoto Station. (*Times given are those for express trains.)
Transport convenience is not the nursing home's only appeal. It is superbly situated on a hilltop with unobstructed views in all directions, giving it a sense of openness possible only under such conditions, as it offers views of the Senri Ranges to the north and downtown Osaka City to the south.

This nursing home is meticulous about making everyday life pleasant for its guests, collaborating with manufacturers at the ORIX Living Innovation Center to incorporate cutting-edge technologies, and to develop items such as nursing auxiliary equipment and environmental and disaster readiness systems that integrate the latest technologies.
Moreover, to reduce the burdens placed on caregivers and care recipients, nursing care lifts will be installed as nursing care auxiliary equipment. The use of nursing care lifts as auxiliary equipment to assist with resident transfers will enable caregivers to communicate with residents during transfers, while confirming their facial expressions for any signs of distress or discomfort, thereby enabling the provision of a higher quality of service.

From a medical aspect, in addition to the day-to-day support that care staffs provide, cooperative agreements with nearby medical institutions enable physicians' visits for check-ups and responses that form part of services ranging from health management through to emergency care.
On the services side, efforts are being made to ensure residents can enjoy leading fulfilling daily lives-an entire floor has been dedicated to shared facilities, including a club salon for activities and beauty salon where residents can enjoy personal adornment.

Rooms are available as standard, single-type rooms that respect privacy and individual personalities, in addition to the large, single-type rooms that are equipped with a shower booth that enable guests to feel greater independence. The nursing home also has double-type rooms that are also equipped with a kitchenette and unit baths in which couples can live as though they were in their own homes, creating an elegant space to "call a home" while living there through their twilight years.

ORIX Living is creating a "new standard of nursing care" and improved lifestyles for the elderly, providing emotional support for future residents and their families.

* ORIX Living Innovation Center is located inside KNOWLEDGE CAPITAL, a core facility of Umekita Grand Front Osaka. It is a creation base operated by ORIX Living and conducts research and development into nursing auxiliary support equipments using technology.

Equipment Supporting Pleasant and Comfortable Lifestyles

■Neo Square

There is an installed room monitoring system that was developed by NK Works Co., Ltd. after it was adopted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry’s Robotic Devices for Nursing Care Project.
Motion-sensitive monitoring cameras detect guests’ movements (like getting out of bed), instantly sending an image to a designated terminal and preventing accidents such as slips and falls.

■Mobile Washstands

There are installed mobile washstands that were developed jointly with Shibutani Co., Ltd. The washstand heights can be adjusted according to the guest’s physique or physical state. Highly functional and well designed, these washstands also leave space for the feet and legs.

■Installation of Tablet Devices

Procedural documents or messages that had been conventionally handwritten can now be managed though tablet devices, thereby smoothing the sharing of information among employees while also being
labor-saving devices.

■Installation of Nursing Care Lifts

Nursing care lifts were installed from May 2013 to alleviate the mental and physical burdens placed on caregivers and residents, as well as to ensure safety, enabling ORIX Living to implement nursing care with a "No Lifting
Policy."

Lifestyle Environments Showing Consideration for Ecology and Disaster Readiness

■Solar Power Generation System

Solar power generation systems have been installed to reduce electricity use and realize ecological consideration. The power generated is used as a power source for shared areas.

■Cogeneration System

A co-generation system has been installed that uses power generated through the heat conversion of stored heat from a hot water system. Electricity is controlled to maximize its use, and the power system has also been designed to cope with blackouts.
