Impression Inc., a company engaged in the development and sales of medical devices (located in Amagasaki, Hyogo Prefecture, CEO: Yuichi Kojima), will be launching a new service called “MagoKoro Support” starting from May 2nd (Monday), aimed at assisting the senior population with their “little troubles.”

Background

Seniors living at home often encounter daily “troubles” or inconveniences. These may include tasks like changing light bulbs, moving furniture, or replacing screens and sliding doors. However, they may lack someone reliable to rely on or feel hesitant to ask for help, thinking it would be a burden. In the past, there have been cases where individuals considering moving to a facility due to anxiety about living alone discovered “MagoKoro Support” and, reassured by having someone dependable nearby, continued living in their own homes for four years. There was also a case of a couple living together where the husband had a fall, and in a state of panic, they didn’t think of calling an ambulance. They reached out to “MagoKoro Support” requesting assistance in helping the husband. Furthermore, “MagoKoro Support” receives numerous inquiries not only from seniors themselves but also from children living far away who constantly worry about their parents but cannot visit them frequently due to work commitments. It is a support service that brings peace of mind to families who can rely on it.

What is “MagoKoro Support”?

“MagoKoro Support” is a life support service that aims to solve the “little troubles” and “uncertainty about whom to consult” faced by seniors. It offers assistance at a rate of 500 yen for 20 minutes. Each user is assigned a dedicated concierge who can help with various tasks, ranging from simple ones like “gardening maintenance,” “changing light bulbs,” and “minor furniture rearrangement” to providing referrals and arrangements for house cleaning and remodeling services. Currently, “MagoKoro Support” operates in over 130 locations nationwide and resolves over 10,000 requests per month. As part of the regional revitalization initiatives already undertaken by Impression Corporation, we are introducing “MagoKoro Support” to support individuals in the community in leading healthy, enjoyable, and worry-free lives.
