Our walk escort service provides trained staff to accompany your elderly family members on walks and outings, ensuring their safety. While providing fall prevention support, we help them rediscover the joy of going outdoors through pleasant conversation.
"They've become reluctant to go out due to weakening legs." "I worry about falls if they walk alone." "They stay home all day and I'm concerned about cognitive decline." Our specialized walking escort staff resolves these concerns. Moderate exercise and sunlight are essential for maintaining elderly physical and mental health.
We support walks at your loved one's pace through nearby parks, shrines and temples, shopping streets, and more. Wheelchair outings are accommodated at no extra charge. After each outing, we send photo reports to your family, delivering their smiles during the walk. Enjoying seasonal flowers and scenery refreshes both body and mind.

Do You Have These Concerns?
Our walk escort service resolves these concerns.
足腰が弱くなり外出を嫌がる
以前は毎日散歩していた親が、膝の痛みや足腰の衰えで外出しなくなった。家に閉じこもる日が増え、体力の低下が加速しているように見える。
一人で散歩させるのは転倒が心配
近所の散歩でも段差や石畳でつまずきそうで怖い。実際に一度転倒してから本人も怖がっている。付き添いたいが毎日は難しい。
引きこもりで認知機能の低下が不安
外出せず一日中テレビを見ている生活が続いている。刺激が少なくなり、物忘れが増えてきた。適度な運動と社会的なつながりが必要だと分かっているが、本人を外に連れ出す余裕がない。
介護サービスでは散歩同行がカバーされない
介護保険のサービスでは「散歩の同行」は基本的に対象外。ヘルパーさんに頼めるのは生活援助や身体介護が中心で、趣味の外出や散歩に付き添ってもらえない。
車椅子での外出を手伝ってくれる人がいない
車椅子生活になったが、一人では外出が難しい。家族が押せるのは週末だけで、平日はずっと家の中。外の空気を吸いたいという本人の希望を叶えてあげたい。
日光浴や運動不足で体調が心配
外出しないため日光を浴びる機会が減り、ビタミンD不足や骨粗しょう症のリスクが気になる。適度な運動をさせたいが、本人が乗り気にならない。
Walk Escort Service Case Studies
Here are real examples of our walk escort service in action.
Twice-weekly walk escort with photo reports
Her 82-year-old mother became afraid of going out after knee surgery. Staff visited twice weekly, accompanying her on 30-minute walks to a nearby park at her pace, with step alerts and arm support. They enjoyed conversations while viewing seasonal flowers during walks.
Three walks per week (building an outdoor routine)
Arranged for his 78-year-old father who stopped going out after losing his spouse. Starting with 10-minute neighborhood walks, they gradually increased the distance. Conversations with staff provided stimulation, and his willingness to go outside slowly returned.
4 wheelchair walk outings per month
Arranged outing support for her 90-year-old grandmother who became wheelchair-bound after a stroke. Family could only help on weekends, leaving her indoors on weekdays. Staff pushed the wheelchair to nearby shrines and parks, pre-checking barrier-free routes for safe walking courses.
Daily 30-minute walk accompaniment
His 76-year-old mother's forgetfulness had been increasing, and he wanted to establish a daily walking habit for dementia prevention. Staff visited every morning, walking a regular route while intentionally incorporating brain-stimulating conversations like "What's today's date?" and "What's that flower called?"

Use Cases
Safe Walks with Fall Prevention Accompaniment
Do you face these challenges?
Weakening legs make solo walks worrying. Fear of falling has stopped them from going out. Family can't accompany them daily, and outings keep decreasing. Physical strength and cognitive decline are concerning.

Client Testimonials
“They accompany my father, whose legs have been getting weaker, on walks. I feel at ease because they walk slowly at his pace. He has more opportunities to go outside now, and his expression seems brighter than before.”
“I started using this service because I was worried about my mother going out alone. The escort is very friendly, and my mother looks forward to walk days. I'm also happy to receive reports like "Today she walked all the way to XX."”
“I have them accompany my grandmother on walks once a week. Thanks to the regular outdoor routine, her mood seems to have stabilized. Honestly, a lower price would help, but my grandmother is happy, so I plan to continue.”
