Nishi-Sendai Hospital

About

Nishi-Sendai Hospital, located in Imizawa, Aoba Ward, Sendai City, Miyagi Prefecture, is a hospital operated by the medical corporation foundation Meikai-kai as a member of the IMS (IMS) Group, playing a role in regional chronic medical care. With internal medicine as the main medical department, it responds to a wide range of needs from outpatient care to inpatient care, home services, and health checkups. One of the initiatives the hospital focuses on is care through food. From regular meals to swallowing-adjusted meals and special therapeutic meals, each is provided individually based on the attending physician's instructions, and the fact that about 70% of inpatients use swallowing-adjusted meals demonstrates the high level of expertise. The fact that they support the "joy of eating" with safe food forms according to chewing and swallowing abilities can be said to be a major characteristic of the hospital. The rehabilitation department has physical therapists, occupational therapists, and speech-language-hearing therapists, and a multi-disciplinary team works in cooperation to provide approaches that are close to the patient's condition, from physical function recovery training to daily living practice and meal rehabilitation. In terms of facilities, there is a parking lot and it is barrier-free, so an environment is prepared that makes it easy for patients in various situations to use. The fact that multiple payment methods such as credit cards, debit cards, and electronic payments are supported also contributes to high convenience. A system that can handle English is also in place, so even those who have difficulty communicating in Japanese can visit with peace of mind. Closed days are Sundays, holidays, and the year-end and New Year holidays (December 31 to January 3).
