New Residential Hospice in Machida City

On October 1, 2025, Human Life Care Co., Ltd. is set to open the Human Life Care Machida Kiso Hospice Home located in Machida City, Tokyo. This establishment will primarily cater to individuals suffering from neurological diseases, such as ALS and Parkinson’s disease, as well as those in the terminal stages of cancer. This will be the second hospice operated by the company, which has been providing various care services since the enactment of the Long-term Care Insurance Act in 1999.

Key Features of the Hospice

The Human Life Care Machida Kiso Hospice Home is designed as a residential facility that supports patients along with their families, ensuring their voices and wishes are prioritized in their care. The hospice aims to foster an environment where patients can continue living their lives in accordance with their personal desires, despite their critical health conditions.

The home will feature a team-based approach to caregiving, comprising nursing care, medical treatment, and support services available around the clock. This continuity of care will be facilitated through partnerships with local healthcare facilities in neighboring Kanagawa Prefecture, which includes Yokohama City, Kawasaki City, and Sagamihara City, ensuring seamless communication and collaboration among caregivers and medical professionals.

Comprehensive Support and Care Services

The facility is equipped to handle a range of medical procedures typically required by residents, including insulin administration, gastrostomy care, and ventilator support, making it a safe environment for patients with complex needs. The hospice will employ specially trained staff to provide personal care and will also offer home-health services, such as home massage and rental or sales of welfare equipment, ensuring quality of life is maintained for all residents.

The hospice's unique approach aligns with the company's commitment to holistic, patient-centered care. By integrating medical and caregiving services, patients suffering from neurological disorders or terminal cancer will receive a dignified, comfortable lifestyle.

Addressing Growing Needs for Specialized Care

Human Life Care operates numerous facilities in the Tokyo metropolitan area, having established strong connections with the local healthcare community, allowing the hospice to provide tailored services that cater to individual health needs. The opening of this residential hospice underlines the company's commitment to creating environments where individuals can live worry-free within their familiar communities.

As they expand services in the future, Human Life Care plans to develop more similar facilities across the capital region, fostering an inclusive approach to healthcare that promotes comfort and dignity for those battling challenging health conditions.
