Ukai Rehabilitation Hospital

Ukai Rehabilitation Hospital (鵜飼リハビリテーション病院) is a Japanese rehabilitation hospital located in Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture. It is operated by the Keizan-kai Medical Corporation (医療法人珪山会) and has provided recovery-phase rehabilitation since opening in 2000. The hospital's stated focus is on patients who have completed acute-phase treatment for conditions such as stroke and who are referred from acute-care hospitals in Nagoya. Its care model emphasizes team-based rehabilitation, recovery-phase rehabilitation aimed at drawing out each patient's potential, and medical coordination that supports patients' return to home life. The hospital positions itself as a community-oriented provider of coordinated medical care. According to its official website, inpatients are referred from acute-phase hospitals within Nagoya, and the hospital works closely with local institutions. Its three stated features are team rehabilitation pursued together with staff, comprehensive recovery-phase rehabilitation, and medical coordination supporting patients' at-home lives. The facility provides information for prospective inpatients, families and visitors, including guidance on hospital life, visiting hours, and access. Ukai Rehabilitation Hospital is located at 4-1 Taikōdōri, Nakamura-ku, Nagoya, Aichi 453-0811. It is about a one-minute walk from Exit 1 of Taikōdōri Station on the Nagoya Municipal Subway Sakuradōri Line, and also accessible by city and Meitetsu buses; it is roughly five minutes by car from the Taikōdōri exit of JR Nagoya Station and about ten minutes north by car from the Ōgane Interchange on the Nagoya Expressway. The hospital publishes news and topics on its website, including recognition in Newsweek's 2026 list of excellent rehabilitation hospitals in Japan, reports on recovery-phase rehabilitation ward performance, and certified physical therapist clinical training curricula. It also recruits physicians, nurses, and care staff on an ongoing basis. The hospital is a private medical institution rather than a listed company. Its brand identity centers on "heartful rehabilitation" for mind and body, and it maintains a patient-facing website with videos, FAQs, satisfaction surveys, and research activity reports. Because it is a single-site healthcare provider, its brand footprint is local to the Nagoya area, but it participates in national professional training and recognition programs.
