Apr 27, 2015

TOKYO, Japan - April 27, 2015 - ORIX Living Corporation (hereinafter, "ORIX Living"), a subsidiary of ORIX Corporation, announced today that it will open its 24th private nursing home GOOD TIME LIVING Center-Minami, on July 1, 2015. This addition to the GOOD TIME LIVING series increases the total number of private nursing home facilities operated by ORIX Living to 24, and the combined total number of rooms to 2,052.

GOOD TIME LIVING Center-Minami is located in Kohoku New Town. This location offers good access to central Tokyo and Yokohama, close proximity to nearby retail and public facilities, and natural surroundings rich in greenery. Approximately 4 minutes (about 300 meters) walk from Center-Minami Station on the Yokohama Municipal Subway, it is convenient for both visiting family members and residents.

To ensure a comfortable living environment, GOOD TIME LIVING Center-Minami will install cutting-edge supportive equipments such as robotic devices for nursing care developed in collaboration with manufacturers of such devices. Monitoring systems adopted by the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry's "Robotic Devices for Nursing Care Project" will be installed in the rooms to enhance residents' safety. These monitoring systems aim to minimize the occurrence of accidents by the residents (e.g. falling on the floor) by the automatic detection of residents' movement (e.g. getting out of bed) through motion-sensors in such systems. In addition, vertically adjustable sinks will also be installed in each room enabling residents to set the height of the sink most suitable to their own physical conditions.

All GOOD TIME LIVING facilities will have special nursing care lifts installed in each room to alleviate physical and mental burdens on residents and ensure safety. The use of these lifts enable caregivers to engage in face to face communication with residents and check for any signs of distress or discomfort, and ultimately contributes to better service quality.

On the medical support aspect, in addition to the day-to-day support that caregivers provide, cooperative agreements with nearby medical institutions enable physicians to perform various services from regular check-ups to emergency care. On the services side, there will be an entire floor dedicated to various social clubs and beauty salon for residents to enjoy social activities, hobbies, and personal adornment. Taking advantage of the location's close proximity to the train station, a tenant zone has been set aside on the first floor of the facility to be open to retail tenants, with the aim to contribute to local community.

Looking ahead, ORIX Living will continue to offer support to residents and their families and create a new lifestyle for the elderly, satisfying their needs that have not been met by the current services in the market.
