A nurse can be the "bridge" between you and your care team

Features

Noticing small changes first

Your doctor may visit only once or twice a month, while home-visit nurses often come to your home several times a week.

Small changes such as eating less, sleeping poorly, or a family member growing tired from caregiving are often noticed first by the visiting nurse.

At HOPE, we make sure these observations reach your doctor and care manager.

Our Promise

What we value in home-visit nursing

Sharing information before the doctor's visit

We organize changes in health, daily life, family concerns and care details, and share them with the doctor beforehand so the visit goes smoothly.

Joining doctor's home visits when possible

The nurse can pass on things that are hard for you or your family to explain or bring up with the doctor.

Connecting "usual" daily life to medical decisions

Knowing your usual condition and progress helps the doctor look ahead. We believe this brings peace of mind to you and your family.

The same for Long-Term Care Insurance users

Not only for public health insurance users: for Long-Term Care Insurance (LTCI) users too, we join doctor's visits and care planning meetings when needed.

Doing the work that is not billed, carefully

Home-visit nursing is more than procedures and observation. We connect you, your family, your doctor and your care manager to support a safe life at home.

Case

A nurse's "noticing" that brought peace of mind

One person first asked us for rehabilitation. On the first visit, the nurse checked their whole body and found pressure ulcers (bedsores) on the back and buttocks, including a deep one over the lower back.

The nurse reported to the doctor that same day and started care as instructed. After that, the team worked together:

Little by little the condition improved, and the person was able to sit longer and move around more. Home-visit nursing protects peace of mind by noticing changes in daily life and responding early.

Discharge

Support from the day you leave hospital

Home-visit nursing can start on the very day you are discharged. We prepare through the pre-discharge conference, and on the day you return home, a nurse visits to check your health, your medication and the safety of your home.

We aim to give you the same sense of security at home that a nurse call button gives you in hospital.

Home-visit nursing is more than medical procedures.
