[Toward the settlement and development of home care].
Ever since Sendai Ohshin Clinic inaugurated the operations in 1996, the clinic has been involved in the home care of 850 people in total. At present, the clinic provides care to 200 people at their homes including 38 people with serious diseases under artificial respiration and 40 people with terminal cancer. 513 people who were under care by the clinic died at home, and it is now quite natural that people live at home to the last breath. I noticed various issued through the provision of home care in Sendai and want to present the desirable direction of medical care using a couple of key words.
