Soliloquy of the President [senior housing] vol. 109
2nd “practical of elderly people housing service” held.
The 3 days course was held on 27th, 28th and 29th of January 2016. Less thanusual participants were there from 15 companies and they studied seriously.
There are already 450 graduates from the elderly people housing service
school, there will be more graduates from this new practical elderly people
housing service course.
The previous course was held to new companies in the business teaching how
not to fail with deficit. The goal of this new “practical” course is held for thosecompanies that are already doing elderly housing service business all overthe country to help them to make “profits” and “development growth”. My
claim and idea are that “elderly housing service helps Japan”, so we started
this “practical elderly housing service” school to help those companies in thedifficult work of nursing (humans, object, money, are all difficult operations).
Until now, the courses were held on a volunteer base, this new practicalcourse is for a fee. The reason is because executive employees of Gold Age arevisiting the other companies. This can’t be done for free naturally. We mustenter the actual sites one by one. That ensures to increase “practice” andhelps to make profits.
The most popular are now the “nursing inspection” and the “profit plan
document creation” subjects. There are many requests from medical andnursing companies. Thanks for the efforts of the employees of Gold Age. They
have their hands full of work in own company they help other nursing
companies too, the true feeling is that don’t want to do even if get money.
However, Gold Age will build further 4 buildings this year and will have atotal of 25 buildings and a total of 1,104 rooms. The “ability and capacity” ofthe employees improved, but I think that we must help other companies too
not only ours. It is true that we had very hard times to create the “know-howof elderly housing service”, but we can not keep it as a secret we must shareit to those other companies which require that. Increase the profits in thehard work of elderly housing service, increase the bonus 2 to 3 times for thenursing staff. That is the target of the “practical elderly housing school”.
The management of Gold Age is also tough. 1 building with land costs anaverage “400 million Yen” (this is a low cost estimation), 25 buildings costs
10 billion Yen. The helpers and other staff over “700 people” are working “24hours”, “365 days”, the yearly profit is only “100 million Yen” or “200 millionYen”. This money is used to repayment of the loans, there is nothing left over.
I’ve run a lot of businesses and companies during 40 years, but this is myfirst time that experienced such a low “income” and “profit” in the businessthat is the “elderly housing service”.
However, “elderly housing service helps out Japan”. The country’s facilities(care for 450,000Yen, 300,000Yen and 280,000 Yen) cannot cover also, private“special facilities” (200,000 Yen) surcharge elderly care homes can’t cover“elderly housing service” (80,000 Yen per person per month average) cancover everything. That’s why we need to it. Please understand that Gold Agedoes “end of life care”, “cognition”, “nursing care” and everything on“cheapest cost in Japan”.
The 8.06 million people from baby boom will be 75 years old by 2025. GoldAge is doing the unstoppable “Japanese nursing”. Please look for it.
