We are taking measures to support home caregivers

As a support for people receiving medical treatment at home, the city commissions a private business operator and maintains a system to conduct health observations for those receiving medical treatment at home. In addition, in cooperation with the Suginami Ward Medical Association and Home-visit Nursing Station, we provide medical care and nursing care through home visits, and distribute pulse oximeters and other devices.

Development of a system to implement home-visit medical care and home-visit nursing care

• With the cooperation of the Suginami Ward Medical Association and Home-Visit Nursing Station, we will visit the homes of patients whose physical condition has deteriorated and provide treatment with an oxygen concentrator and administration of drugs.
• For those receiving medical treatment at home who are in an unstable physical condition, nurses from the Home-visit Nursing Station will visit the home of the patient and check their physical condition at the request of the public health center.

Medical equipment necessary for home visits and physical condition checks

oxygen concentrator

An oxygen concentrator is a device that allows oxygen inhalation at home.
The city secures the necessary amount so that it can be lent promptly when a doctor needs it for home-visit medical care.

Pulse Oximeter

A pulse oximeter is a device that measures the oxygen concentration in the blood by exposing the fingertip to light. We lend it to at-risk people to understand the signs of aggravation.
