In recent years there have been many opinions that home nursing care and home death are good, but in reality it is difficult for people to die at home due to various circumstances. About 80% of people die in hospitals. Dying in hospitals has a dark image, but there is a hospital that embodies "I want to die in my final years." This is Keiyu Hospital, a hospital specialized for the elderly in Ome, Tokyo Prefecture. This hospital has established its own nursing care methods and philosophy, such as "hygiene management that prevents the smell peculiar to hospitals from appearing inside the hospital," "rehabilitation that is performed every time," "rehabilitation that is performed while grooming oneself," and "face and talk to each other about anxiety about death." Through this care, it used to be praised as "waiting for four years, waiting for 400 people" (it became two hospitals and the waiting period for hospitalization has been resolved). The "number of Person Who Has Received Nursing Authorization" in 2018 was 6.574 million. In recent years, the pace of increase has accelerated, and not everyone is taking care of the elderly. This book introduces the "skilled and gentle" care practiced by Ome Keiyu Hospital from the viewpoint of patients, nursing care and rehabilitation staff, and head nurse (patients). Yukiko Kurokawa, President of the Institute of Gerontology who has been deeply involved in this hospital, explains the care methodology and mental attitude based on the psychology of the elderly. ■ Table of Contents (tentative) Chapter 1.
