A day here · From the first knock to the last wave.
Scroll slowly. This is one ordinary Wednesday for Ok-sun, who is 82 and comes three days a week.
08:00 Door to door
We come to the door, not the corner. A carer walks your parent to the van and sees them in.
09:00 Tea, then a check
Blood pressure, temperature and how they slept — written down every morning, over a warm cup.
10:00 Hands and mind
Ink painting, folding, memory games. Slow work that keeps the hands steady and the mind busy.
11:00 Something planted
Mornings in the courtyard beds. Today Ok-sun planted a lettuce. Remember it.
12:00 Lunch at one long table
Cooked here this morning. Softer food and smaller cuts for anyone who needs them.
13:30 A proper rest
Real beds, linen curtains, a quiet room. Nobody naps in a chair here.
15:00 Songs everyone knows
A guitar, a small drum and the old songs. The afternoon goes quickly.
17:00 Home before dinner
Back to the same door at five — with whatever they made today.
For families · At five, a page about their day.
Every evening you get a short note from the carer who spent the day with your parent — what they ate, how they slept, what made them laugh. Tap the note to turn it over.
- Sent by text every evening
- Photos only with your family’s consent
- Call the carer back any time before 18:00
A house, not a ward.
One storey around a courtyard and an old persimmon tree. No steps anywhere, handrails along every wall, and a quiet room for whoever needs one. Tap a room.
- Gate & path — A wide wooden gate and a gently sloped stone path — the van stops right outside.
- Courtyard — Raised beds at sitting height, an oak deck in the shade, the persimmon tree.
- Living room — Armchairs that are easy to get out of, glass doors onto the courtyard.
- Kitchen & table — An open kitchen and one long table for everyone. Lunch is cooked here.
- Rest room — Four low day beds with fresh linen every day, and curtains that keep it calm.
- Studio — Ink, paper, clay and seedlings on the sill. Messy on purpose.
- Single storey, no steps
- Handrails on every wall
- Accessible bathrooms with call buttons
- A garden you can sit in
What it costs, in plain numbers.
With a long-term care grade, the insurance pays most of each day. You pay a share of what is covered, plus meals.
- Most families: 15% — of the covered daily fee; insurance pays the other 85%.
- Reduced share: 6–9% — for lower household incomes, set by the insurer.
- Basic livelihood support: 0% — nothing to pay for the covered day.
Meals and snacks are not covered by insurance. Days above your monthly limit are paid in full. We will work out your exact monthly figure with you on the phone.
Who comes here
- Anyone with a long-term care grade (1–5, or cognitive support)
- People living with dementia or after a stroke
- Parents who are alone while the family works
- No grade yet? We help you apply.

What families ask us most.
Is a day house the same as a nursing home?
No. Your parent sleeps at home every night. They spend the day here — with company, meals and care — and we bring them back before dinner.
Can people living with dementia come?
Yes, most of our neighbours live with some memory loss. Small groups, a steady routine and the same carers every day help a great deal. We will talk it through at your visit.
How far do you drive?
Usually within about 20 minutes of the house. Tell us the address and we will tell you the pick-up time.
What if they need help with the toilet or medication?
Our carers help with both. Medication is given as prescribed and written in the day note.
Can they come only some days?
Yes. Many come two or three days a week. You can change the days with a week’s notice.
Come for tea. Bring your parent.
Weekday afternoons, 14:00–16:00. Call ahead or just come — the gate is open.
