CHARM CARE CORPORATION

Charm Care Corporation (株式会社チャーム・ケア・コーポレーション) is a Japanese company that operates paid nursing homes (介護付有料老人ホーム), residential-style paid nursing homes (住宅型有料老人ホーム), and service-supported housing for the elderly (サービス付き高齢者向け住宅), alongside a real estate development business. It is headquartered in two locations — Osaka (Nakanoshima, Kita-ku) and Tokyo (Akasaka, Minato-ku) — and has been listed on the Tokyo Stock Exchange Prime Market since April 2022. The company was founded in 2005 when it opened its first paid nursing home, "Charm Yamatokoriyama," in Yamatokoriyama City, Nara Prefecture. It initially concentrated on the Kinki region but expanded into the Greater Tokyo area, opening its first Tokyo-area home, "Charm Suite Shakujii-koen," in 2014. In 2017 it launched the upscale "Charm Premier" series with "Charm Premier Mejiro Otomeyama" in Shinjuku, Tokyo. Since July 2018 it has operated under a dual-headquarters structure. Charm Care operates four main home series: Charm (チャーム), Charm Suite (チャームスイート), Charm Premier (チャームプレミア), and Charm Premier Gran (チャームプレミア グラン). The Charm series emphasizes a warm, family-like atmosphere; Charm Suite offers hospitality-oriented services; and the Charm Premier and Charm Premier Gran series target affluent customers with high-end spaces and individualized care. In recent years the company has strengthened its high-end paid nursing home offerings in the Greater Tokyo area. Beyond care operations, Charm Care engages in real estate development, building paid nursing homes for other operators and selling the properties to REITs and other investors. Its consolidated subsidiary Good Partners Co., Ltd. provides staffing, recruitment, and visiting nursing services focused on the nursing care field. The company has also invested in Welville Inc., which develops Japanese-language AI dialogue engines, to advance services involving free conversation with robots and avatars. As of the fiscal year ended June 2025, Charm Care reported consolidated revenue of 46,673 million yen and 3,094 employees (including part-time and contract workers). Its capital is 2,759 million yen. The company maintains relationships with several major banks, including Resona Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Banking Corporation, Mitsubishi UFJ Bank, Mizuho Bank, Sumitomo Mitsui Trust Bank, Ikeda Senshu Bank, and Kyoto Bank.

Charm Care Corporation was founded in 2005, when it opened its first paid nursing home, "Charm Yamatokoriyama," in Yamatokoriyama City, Nara Prefecture, in April of that year. The company initially focused on the Kinki region, building a base of care facilities in western Japan. In September 2008, Charm Care acquired the shares of Tsubamesō Co., Ltd., which operated the paid nursing home "Lunahart Senri Oka no Machi," making it a subsidiary. In May 2010, Tsubamesō was absorbed through a merger. In April 2012, the company listed on the Osaka Securities Exchange JASDAQ (Standard) market (now part of the Tokyo Stock Exchange JASDAQ Standard). This provided capital for further expansion. In September 2014, Charm Care opened its first paid nursing home in the Greater Tokyo area, "Charm Suite Shakujii-koen." This marked the beginning of its expansion into the Kantō region. In February 2017, it launched the upscale "Charm Premier" series with the opening of "Charm Premier Mejiro Otomeyama" in Shinjuku, Tokyo. In 2018, the company made several significant moves: in March it transferred its listing to the Second Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange; in July it established a Tokyo head office and adopted a dual-headquarters structure; and in December it moved to the First Section of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In May 2020, Charm Care entered into a business alliance with Ship Healthcare Holdings Co., Ltd. In July 2020, it acquired all shares of Good Partners Co., Ltd., which provides staffing and recruitment services for nursing care facilities, making it a subsidiary. In November 2021, it acquired all shares of Like Co., Ltd., a nursing care business, also making it a subsidiary. In April 2022, the company transitioned to the Prime Market of the Tokyo Stock Exchange. In September 2024, it took over the operations of three paid nursing homes from Care21 Co., Ltd. In October 2024, it acquired all shares of CM Care Co., Ltd., a nursing care business, making it a subsidiary. In November 2024, it took over the operations of two more paid nursing homes from Care21. Throughout its history, Charm Care has expanded its portfolio of senior living facilities, developing four distinct series—Charm, Charm Suite, Charm Premier, and Charm Premier Gran—to serve different customer segments. In recent years, it has particularly strengthened its high-end paid nursing home offerings in the Greater Tokyo area, targeting affluent customers.
