AICHI – Megumi, which operates a group home for people with disabilities, submitted its business policy to Aichi Prefecture on July 12th, indicating its intention to transfer the business within the year.

There is a possibility that some facilities will no longer be able to operate… Megumi, which operates a group home for people with disabilities, aims to transfer the business to a separate corporation within the year.

After being found to have inflated food costs and fraudulent compensation claims, Megumi was administratively punished by Aichi Prefecture and Nagoya City, and will no longer be able to operate group homes nationwide.

Megumi submitted its future business policy to Aichi Prefecture on the 12th, indicating its intention to transfer all of its approximately 100 homes nationwide to a separate corporation.

The transfer is aimed for sometime in 2024, but as there is a possibility that some facilities will no longer be able to operate before then, the prefecture plans to provide support such as moving users.
