However, community-based support often fails to address the fundamental need of such families for physiological rest. This policy note describes the Mie Hot Spot Model, an innovative intervention developed in Mie Prefecture, Japan, which repurposes maternity homes (\n                      <jats:italic>boshi seikatsu shien shisetsu<\/jats:italic>\n                      ) into community respite hubs.\n                    <\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>By bringing underused residential capacity into use and providing professional staffing, this model provides high-intensity, 7-h separate care, guaranteeing parents the Right to Rest.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results and discussion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>\n                      Preliminary administrative data (\n                      <jats:italic>N<\/jats:italic>\n                      \u202f=\u202f45) and in-depth user interviews indicate that this approach has the potential to support parental resilience, potentially functioning as a critical gatekeeper for isolated families.
