Family Care Clinic Kichijoji, located in the Kichijoji area of Musashino City, Tokyo, is an internal medicine clinic specializing in home-visit medical care. A key feature of this clinic is that physicians with extensive experience in emergency medicine, general practice, and palliative care at acute-care hospitals visit patients directly at their homes or care facilities, providing treatment based on advanced medical expertise. The clinic handles a wide range of conditions, from chronic diseases such as dementia, heart failure, and home oxygen therapy to acute illnesses like pneumonia, urinary tract infections, and pressure ulcers, as well as palliative care, intractable neurological diseases, and pediatric complex illnesses, accepting patients regardless of age or condition. For patients under regular contracts, the clinic maintains a 24-hour, 365-day response system, ensuring rapid response during emergencies. Care is supported not only by physicians but also by a multidisciplinary team including nurses, registered dietitians, social workers, and exercise therapists, providing comprehensive support that extends beyond medical care to include nutritional management and daily living assistance. The service area centers on Musashino City, Koganei City, Mitaka City, and Nishitokyo City, extending to parts of Nerima Ward and Suginami Ward. Since home-visit medical care is covered by public health insurance, patients can use these services with minimal out-of-pocket costs. As a provider of home-based healthcare supporting those who have difficulty visiting hospitals and those wishing to receive care in their familiar home environment, the clinic responds to local medical needs.
