Japan Hospice Holdings Inc. operates primarily in the healthcare sector in Japan, specializing in hospice housing and home care services for patients with terminal cancer and intractable diseases. The company provides comprehensive end-of-life care through its hospice houses, which are rental residences exclusively for patients requiring palliative care, and through a range of home care services including home visit nursing, small-scale multifunctional in-home nursing care known as Kantaki, day care services, and on-demand nursing care facilitated by certified care workers and helpers. Additionally, it offers housing management and nursing care services for elderly patients, as well as consulting and construction services related to healthcare facilities. Founded in 2017, the company is headquartered in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo.
In recent years, Japan Hospice Holdings has expanded its operations significantly, growing its revenue from 4.92 billion JPY in 2020 to 12.12 billion JPY in 2024. The company has pursued strategic business growth through acquisitions, including the recent acquisition of Alive Suginami-shoan, and has reinforced partnerships aimed at expanding home-visit prescription dispensing and enhancing integrated service delivery for hospice house residents. It is increasingly diversifying its hospice services to serve beyond cancer patients, aiming to broaden its user base and bolster facility expansions. These strategic moves underline Japan Hospice Holdings' commitment to expanding its footprint in the growing end-of-life care market in Japan, driven by the country’s aging demographic and rising demand for specialized hospice and home care services.
The company targets Japan’s healthcare providers and elderly patients, focusing on palliative and home-based nursing care, utilizing a lean organizational structure to address nurse shortages and improve patient satisfaction. Its business segments include hospice housing, home nursing services, home care services, and healthcare-related construction and consulting. With a workforce of over 1,000 employees, Japan Hospice Holdings operates exclusively in Japan and continues to advance its mission of the study and popularization of home hospices, positioning itself as a leading provider in the palliative care and elderly nursing care space in the country.
