manaby to open group home 'mana Home' for people with disabilities in Ishinomaki in October 2026

manaby Inc., which operates disability welfare services nationwide, plans to open a group home for people with disabilities called 'mana Home' (tentative name) in Ishinomaki City, Miyagi Prefecture, in October 2026. While the company has primarily focused on employment support, it is now launching a 'housing' business. This initiative addresses the critical issue of 'places to belong' for people with disabilities, which employment support alone cannot solve. Facing challenges such as the '18-year-old barrier,' the '65-year-old barrier,' and the burden of family care, the company aims to create a place where both the individuals and their families can feel secure. 'mana Home' will have professional staff on-site 24/7, providing consistent support, including end-of-life care. It will also include rooms for short-stay services to allow families to rest.
