685 terms. Every one earns its place.
Not a dictionary dump. Every entry is one a working caregiver hears, says, or reads — organized by real shift scenarios.
- ✓Grouped by scenario: morning care, meals, mobility, meds, handoff
- ✓Kanji + furigana + romaji + English gloss on every card
- ✓Usage examples pulled from real caregiver dialogue
- ✓Bookmark, mark for review, or mute — your library, your rules
A readiness meter, not a report card.
See the shape of your effort. Small daily wins compound into a passing score — and a first shift you can walk into with your shoulders back.
Study in the language you think in.
Every screen, every hint, every explanation — in English or 日本語. Because studying should meet you where you are.
"Please help me transfer the resident from the bed to the wheelchair."
Clean, task-focused instruction — the way you'd read a handbook.
「利用者りようしゃをベッドから車椅子くるまいすに移乗いじょうしてください。」
Furigana over every kanji — read confidently before you've mastered them.
Care workers, not marketers.
Words from nurses and caregivers who use KaigoReady to prepare for shifts in Japan.
I stopped dreading vocabulary. Thirty minutes on the train and I actually remember it the next day.
The furigana toggle is the feature I didn't know I needed. My kanji went from panic to progress.
Feels like a study buddy who actually knows the exam. The readiness meter kept me honest.
