Sakura Home Care Clinic
About
This internal medicine clinic, specializing in home healthcare, is located in Zushi City, Kanagawa Prefecture. It provides 24/7 home visit services covering the areas of Zushi, Hayama, Kamakura, Yokosuka, and the Kanazawa Ward of Yokohama. The facility offers English language support and is equipped with parking and barrier-free facilities. In the Miura Peninsula area, where the aging population is rapidly increasing, there are many households with elderly individuals living alone or situations where elderly people are caring for each other. Against this regional background, the clinic works to maintain community health through home medical care. The clinic also handles cases requiring specialized instruction and management, such as home oxygen therapy and home parenteral nutrition. They conduct "life conferences" where, through discussion with patients and their families, they present multiple treatment options for selection. With internal medicine as its specialty, the clinic is closed on weekends, holidays, and during the year-end and New Year period. It also addresses challenges in elderly healthcare, including polypharmacy, sleeping pill dependence, and medication-related issues with anti-dementia drugs.
