Misato Home Clinic

About

Misato Home Care Clinic, located in Misato Town, Semboku District, Akita Prefecture, is a clinic specializing in home care with internal medicine as its primary specialty. The clinic is dedicated to supporting patients to live in their familiar homes until the end from a medical perspective. Rather than only responding when patients feel unwell, the clinic features a style where staff regularly visit patients as their primary care physicians to provide continuous disease prevention and health management. The clinic serves a wide range of patients, including those who find hospital visits difficult, those who wish to continue recuperating at home after completing cancer treatment, and those requiring tube feeding or ventilator support. In addition to regular visits, the clinic also provides home visits in emergencies. It has established a system to provide comprehensive support for patients' entire daily lives in coordination with local hospitals, care providers, and care managers. The clinic director, Dr. Kohei Sato, gained extensive experience at a home care clinic in Akita City before opening this clinic with the aim of enhancing home care services in the Ogata and Yokote areas, which have particularly high aging rates. The clinic offers English-language services and has parking facilities, providing an environment that makes it easy for family members to accompany patients. The clinic is closed on Thursdays, Sundays, and during the New Year's period.
