Medical Corporation Shadan Houyukai: Long-Term Care Health Facility Ikaruno
This property is a long-term care health facility located in the city of Fujinomiya, Shizuoka Prefecture. It was established in April 2006, with the Fujiyama Hospital serving as its base hospital. The facility's name, 'Ikaruno', is derived from the Ikaru bird species, a wild bird found in the forested, nature-rich grounds situated at the foot of Mount Fuji, near the Shiraito Falls.
The facility provides comprehensive care services aimed at supporting the independence of elderly individuals requiring long-term care, with the goal of helping them return home. Services include nursing and care support, rehabilitation conducted by physical therapists, and daily living assistance such as meals and bathing.
The facility emphasizes a philosophy of transforming the negative '3K' image of care work into positive values: vitality, inspiration, and gratitude. The environment is described as bright, with both residents and staff fostering a cheerful atmosphere.
