Asahikai Asahi Hospital

What Asahikai Asahi Hospital does

Asahikai Asahi Hospital (医療法人朝日会 朝日病院) is a private nonprofit Medical Corporation founded in 1961 and headquartered at 660 Kizawa, Oyama City, Tochigi Prefecture, Japan. It operates a psychiatric hospital providing outpatient and inpatient mental health services across a wide range of conditions including depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, schizophrenia, dementia (Alzheimer's), epilepsy, alcoholism, and insomnia. The organization delivers care under Japan's national health insurance system at government-regulated reimbursement rates, with additional charges for uncovered amenities and personal items.

Adjacent to the psychiatric hospital, the corporation wholly owns Omoigawa Care Stage (思川ケアステージ), a 100-bed long-term care health facility (介護老人保健施設) comprising 50 general-care beds on the first floor and 50 dementia-specialized beds on the second floor, plus 20 day-rehabilitation slots. Omoigawa operates under Japan's long-term care insurance per-diem rate structure and provides residential care, short-term stays, and day rehabilitation services staffed by physical and occupational therapists, counselors, and care managers. The co-located model enables direct medical collaboration for dementia patients with behavioral or psychiatric comorbidities.

Beyond inpatient and residential care, Asahikai offers an integrated rehabilitation and social-reinforcement portfolio including day care and day-night care programs, Rework (復職支援) for return-to-work after mental-health-related leave, Trywork (再就労支援) for re-employment, occupational therapy, visiting nursing, counseling, and a medical consultation office. The corporation distributes information through hospital newsletters (Asahi Hospital Dayori, Yuto Pia, Yugao Tsushin), seasonal community festivals (summer festival, culture festival, music festival, Respect for the Aged Day), and referral channels via care managers and local partner hospitals. Leadership comprises a Director (院長 朝日公彦) and Chairman (理事長 朝日晴彦), both from the founding family, with a separate Facility Director (施設長 朝日成彦) at Omoigawa Care Stage, all holding Doctor of Medicine degrees and certified psychiatric health physician designations.
