In this study, a new style of postnatal care facility that combines both medical and nonmedical support is considered. Contrary to most postnatal care facilities in Japan, this new postnatal care facility accepts a puerperant from the cooperating maternity facility soon after birth (≤2 days). We conducted a hypothetical-choice experiment to investigate whether this new postnatal care facility could be accepted by women in Gero City, Hida, Gifu Prefecture and how these women evaluate different kinds of postnatal care services. The results show that after a 2-day hospital stay, women from Gero City preferred to move to the new postnatal care facility over the other alternatives (continued hospitalization or discharge home). In addition, the estimated choice probabilities for selecting the postnatal care facility under different scenarios show a high level of acceptance for this new postnatal care facility.
