Familiar Nurse Pediatric Visiting Nursing Station
About
For parents leaving the hospital with an infant or caring for a child who needs medical support at home, Familiar Nurse (ファミリアナース) offers pediatric visiting nursing that helps families feel safer and less alone. The visiting nursing station (訪問看護ステーション) serves newborns through age 20, including children with medical needs and severe disabilities, so it is useful when families need skilled nursing visits, overnight support, or in‑home respite (在宅レスパイト).
The team provides medical-home nursing under insurance and also offers personal nursing (パーソナルナーシング) as a self-pay option for bespoke medical care. Services explicitly include medical care support (医療的ケア), in‑home respite (在宅レスパイト), and home help services (kyotaku kaigo, 居宅介護) through the new Hag Care Station. The homepage explains that medical insurance plus local subsidies often cover most costs so families commonly pay only travel expenses, and it notes that a recipient certificate (jukyuusha shou, 受給者証) is required for home help services (居宅介護).
Practical details on the site list a Meguro Aobadai address and phone and email contacts, and the station serves Meguro, Shinagawa, Shibuya, Setagaya, Minato and other Tokyo 23 wards while inviting inquiries about nearby areas. The service advertises 24/7 availability including nights and holidays though some evening slots are busy, and families are encouraged to contact the office or use the official LINE for questions. The website content is Japanese, so non-Japanese speakers should plan for browser translation or an interpreter when arranging visits.
