In our hospital, there are services such as visiting examination, making house calls and home-visit nursing care. They are provided by staff of Shonan Atsugi Hospital. We visit patients’ houses and provide these services for them in cases where it has become difficult for patients to continue treatment on an out-patient basis or visit the hospital after hospitalization.
Our doctors/ nurses support them, hoping that they can recuperate at home with their family in a safe and comfortable way.
