Background and Purpose Due to the aging population in Japan, the number of elderly individuals without family support is increasing annually. By 2050, it is estimated that there will be over 10 million elderly individuals without children, more than 4 million of whom will have no immediate family support. Consequently, an increasing number of elderly individuals cannot access necessary services because they cannot secure a 'guarantor' required for hospitalizations or nursing home admissions.

Through our experience in providing guardianship services, we realized that solving the issues of 'single elderly' isolation and solitary deaths requires collaboration with other businesses in the field rather than tackling it alone. Thus, Akari Hosho established 'Shu-Suppo' as a venue for support service providers to connect, learn from each other, and collaborate. Through this community, we aim to share on-site knowledge and build robust support systems.
