Day services are a type of long-term care insurance service where individuals visit a facility on a day-trip basis from their homes and spend the day receiving meals, bathing, functional training, and recreational activities. Since they return home in the evening, they can continue to live comfortably in their own homes while utilizing these services.

Front-opening undershirts, comfortable pants, and clothes that can be tumble-dried are easy to handle for both the resident and the care staff. At Setagaya Care, we make suggestions based on our understanding of the resident's lifestyle, including laundry and dryer compatibility.
