Home-visit medical care
Home-visit medical care is a medical treatment service for those who are recuperating at home and have difficulty going to the hospital, and is planned on a regular basis (once or twice a month).
The ability to receive medical care in the comfort of one's own home not only reduces the burden of hospital visits on the patient and family, but also has the advantage of allowing the patient to relax and enjoy the medical care.
In addition, house calls are made by a physician to the patient's home in the event of an emergency, and for those who have a contract with us for home-visit treatment, we have a system in place to make house calls 24 hours a day, 365 days a year on an emergency basis, and even provide physicians care for the patient at the time of death
Please note that we do not make house calls to those who are not under contract for home-visit treatment. We also provide support for those who wish to receive the Maruyama Vaccine.

Q&A about home-visit medical care
A. t depends on the category of residence (home/facility), the percentage of cost based on age (10-30%), the frequency of visits (once or twice a month), and necessary tests, procedures, and intravenous infusions, etc.
Home-Visit Nursing Care
Home-visit nursing refers to nursing care (medical care or necessary medical assistance) provided by a nurse or other nurse visiting a patient's home under the direction or in collaboration with the attending physician.
We have a home nursing station within our clinic, so why not consider introducing home nursing at the same time as or before introducing home-visit medical care?
Thoughts on Home-Visit Medical Care
Hiroshi Kamura
(Physician)As an emergency physician at a hospital, I saw many terminally ill patients who were transported from their homes by emergency medical services, and I began to question whether this was the way I had originally hoped to see them, and I began to wonder if there was something I could do in home healthcare. Then, after actually providing home medical care, I realized the need for various kinds of support from those around us. We hope to contribute to the lives of these patients in any way we can by entering into the circle of support from a medical perspective and engaging in “dialogue” with them and their families.
Hiroya Seta
(Physician)While engaged in emergency medical care at an acute care hospital, I was also involved in home medical care at a clinic and experienced end-of-life care from two different directions: emergency and home. I will help elderly people feel free to consult with me about their daily concerns and problems, take the time to discuss them, and then help them live at home with peace of mind. We are committed to becoming the community's family doctor for life by asking them, “How do you want to live?” and we value your thoughts and feelings.
