Start of “Sakura Project” to deliver cherry blossoms nationwide to nursing homes via live broadcast

2020.04.03

Plasrobo Co., Ltd., which operates the “Sketter” skill sharing service specializing in the nursing care field, and Tokyo Travel Partners Co., Ltd., which operates the travel service “Taisuke” for nursing care facilities, will jointly launch the “Sakura Project”.

About "Sakura Project"

This project uses a videophone tool, “ZOOM,” to deliver cherry blossoms in full bloom to facilities remotely for nursing home users who have difficulty going out.
Skimmers, who have registrants nationwide, go to famous cherry blossom spots on behalf of the users and deliver the cherry blossoms live. You can enjoy the cherry blossoms without going out while you are in a nursing home.

Project background

Due to the effects of the new coronavirus, many nursing homes are forced to refrain from going out and recreation. This project was started with the desire to deliver cherry blossoms while staying at the facility, while it was necessary to refrain from “Hanami”, which is particularly popular among many seasonal events.

What is "Sketter"?

In nursing homes, there are many duties that do not require qualification and other than physical assistance. This is a service that matches work in facilities that can help even those who are not experienced in the industry, and workers (sketchers) who are involved in “just what they can do” during the gap time. The mission of “Increase the population involved in the nursing care industry” was officially released in August 2019, and currently more than 1,000 registrants are matching the spot work of nursing care facilities.
