Together with the community for 30 years,
we support people and
their daily lives.
Thanks to your support, Kunisaki-en has celebrated its 30th anniversary. We would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to everyone who has shown their understanding and support for our operations over the years, as well as to all our staff who work tirelessly on the front lines every day.
The Masuda City Medical Association was established in October 1960 with the goal of “creating a community where residents can continue to live independently with peace of mind in the familiar surroundings of Masuda.” In 1996, commissioned by Masuda City, we established the Masuda City Municipal Long-Term Care Facility for the Elderly “Kunisaki-en" as an intermediate facility between hospitals and home living. Furthermore, since the launch of the Long-Term Care Insurance System in April 2000, we have served as a leader in the coordination of medical and long-term care services in the Masuda region, meeting diverse needs by focusing on providing seamless support for home living, ranging from residential care to short-stay services, outpatient rehabilitation, home-visit rehabilitation, and home-visit nursing.
In addition, by serving as a point of contact for patients and their families, collaborating with medical institutions and care managers, and acting as a bridge to local services, we have played a role in the community's integrated care system. Moving forward, we will continue to respect the dignity of each and every patient, prioritizing the questions of “What would I want if I were in their shoes?” and “What would I do if I were their family member?” as we strive to provide our services. We aspire to be a facility that continues to support “lifestyles suited to individuals” in this community. We ask for your continued understanding and support of Kunisaki-en.

Core Philosophy
With the goal of creating a community where residents can continue to live independently and with peace of mind in the Masuda area they are familiar with, we provide medical care, nursing care, and rehabilitation services that respect the dignity of our residents and meet the needs of the community.
Turning daily life itself into “rehabilitation.”
We help you return to the home you know so well.
At Kunisaki-en, we do not view rehabilitation as a separate, special activity; instead, we integrate it into every aspect of daily life. We combine the specialized knowledge of physical therapists, occupational therapists, speech-language pathologists, and dental hygienists with the perspective of nursing and care staff who are by our residents' side 24 hours a day. We draw out the full potential of what each of our residents are capable of and support independent living.
We also have a strong partnership system in place with the attached Masuda Regional Medical Center Medical Association Hospital, enabling us to provide specialized care. We view every day you spend here as a vital step toward your return home, and we work together with you to help you rebuild a life that is uniquely yours.

Our Unique Comprehensive Rehabilitation Support

We provide comprehensive support through multidisciplinary collaboration, including integrated care as well as training conducted by caregiving staff in our long-term care ward.
Dementia, Swallowing, and Oral Function Support
We provide support to ensure individuals with dementia or swallowing disorders can live and enjoy their meals safely. We also offer oral care provided by dental hygienists.
Support for Continuing Life at Home
Through services such as outpatient rehabilitation and home visit rehabilitation, we support residents in continuing to live in their local communities after their discharge.
Declaration on the Elimination of Physical Restraints
Physical restraints not only harm the minds and bodies of our residents, but also diminish their quality of life and violate their human dignity.
As we strive to understand “what kind of convalescent life each of our residents desires” and “what constitutes a rich and comfortable convalescent life with trust and emotional connections,” we hereby declare that we will devote our utmost efforts to realizing high-quality care that does not require physical restraints.
- We will cherish human dignity as we strive toward the elimination of physical restraints.
- We will pursue high-quality care as we strive toward the elimination of physical restraints.
- We will continue to take on challenges with strong determination as we strive toward the elimination of physical restraints.
