Established in November, 1996, the Kobe Comprehensive Care Center for the Aged covers an area of 4,190m2 in the heart of the urban area of Kobe City. 

It is easily accessible, and provides comprehensive support services for the elderly - from consultations, preventive health care and rehabilitation, to short or long-stay facilities - so that they can maintain their health and wellbeing near home, and in the heart of the community. 

A large Local Rehabilitation Center on the ground floor is for training by physical, occupational and speech therapists, who also make home visits. 

The second floor houses the Geriatric Health Services Facility, providing in-patient rehabilitation, nursing and general care and rehabilitation to up to 54 long and short-term residents whose symptoms have stabilized after treatment, to enable them to return home.                                                                                                         Kobe Comprehensive Care Center for the Aged

The upper two floors are the ‘Shin-ai Home’, operated by the Jesus Corps Social Welfare Corporation; a nursing home for elderly in need of steady care which they cannot receive at home. 

Further facilities include the Community Counseling Center to coordinate health and welfare services and provide information; the Day Respite Care Center with a transportation service for elderly residents; support and training facilities for daily living assistance; and the Short Stay Center for elderly who need temporary assistance or care.
