The English word "home hospice" can also be literally translated as "house waiting for death". But I can't say, "mom, I'm moving to a house waiting to die." The reason for choosing this name is not only because the word "hospice care" has not been popularized in Japan, but also because nursing homes did not provide hospice care services in the past.
There are more and more seriously ill patients, and the elderly who have nowhere to go can only stay for a long time, which makes the nursing home have to become the last refuge for the elderly. Therefore, the delivery rate of hospice care has been increasing in recent days, and Japanese nursing insurance has also added "hospice care" to hospice care. If you want to be sent to the hospital before you die, you still have to get the consent of your family.
Rental nursing space "mom's home"
The home-based hospice center, Mother's Home, celebrates its anniversary this year 1 1. 1 1 years ago, the opportunity for Ms. Misawa to start this enterprise was that when the local elderly moved to nursing homes, the houses would be empty. On the condition of taking care of each other, Ms. Chaiyuan rented the whole house from the other party, and then divided it into five rooms for rent, so that the old people could live here in groups. The advantage of family hospice care is to live a normal life in a normal house, not hospice care. Neighbors are free to make friends no matter when their families come and go. Although Japanese houses are "obstacle spaces", the elderly will live more easily on the familiar tatami.
From "Zenggen's Mother's Home" and "Kirishima's Mother's Home" in 2004 to "Jia Ling's Mother's Home" in 2007, they opened new branches one after another, but insisted that each branch could only accommodate five elderly people at most. Old people may leave or even die because of physical changes. Even if only one enrollment is reduced, the impact on business should be considerable. However, Ms. Chaiyuan refused to compromise at all: "At any time, no more than five people can pay attention to the situation of every old man at any time. Perhaps increasing the number of people to seven or eight will make the operation more stable, but at present, we can only barely make ends meet.
Since all branches are operated by renting houses, the initial investment is not high. In addition, the original lady in the market said with a smile: "When we rent a house, we have to take care of the landlord who used to live in it. This is the most ideal way, because you can also make use of the landlord's local contacts. When a nursing home is planned, most neighbors will feel rejected. Renting a house can rely on the "credit" established by the landlord who has lived here for many years, so that the establishment of a nursing home will be smoother.
