On July 28, 2025, the comprehensive healthcare information website, "おうちde医療" (Ouchi de Iryou), unveiled its latest feature, the "Home Care End-of-Life Ranking". This new segment dives deeper into its most popular content, the "Overall End-of-Life Care Ranking", focusing specifically on options available for receiving care at home.
The "Home Care Ranking" categorizes and presents data based on notifications submitted to the health bureau, illustrating the number of end-of-life care instances by various medical institutions in a ranking format. The nationwide ranking showcases the top 300 facilities, while individual prefectures list the top 100, making it easily accessible for families to identify medical institutions with strong track records in home care within their regions.
In the national rankings, many key medical institutions serving as vital central hubs are recognized for their efforts in providing end-of-life care at home. For instance, the "Yamato Clinic" in Itabashi, Tokyo, ranks first with an impressive total of 392 home care instances. Additionally, clinics across regions such as Ibaraki, Hokkaido, and Fukuoka have also documented over 100 successful cases, demonstrating a significant presence of reliable services.
