ABSTRACT

As a result of rapid aging speed in our society, many problems related to elderly people have happened in many parts of our society. Among them, supply for elderly housing is one of the biggest problems. To solve these problems, ‘long-term care insurance' has been put in operation from July 2008. By the time of the insurance operation, Ministry of Health and Welfare is increasing facilities every year according to ‘10-year expending plan of Care service infra' from 2002. As a result, the supply rate of elderly facilities has been raised. But the differences of facility supply rate between regions are very high in some cases. Therefore older people who need care sometimes cannot get proper care services in some areas. In that case, the frail older people have to use other care facilities of other regions. This is not a proper situation from the point of “Aging in Place". In order to prevent that case, it is necessary to set up proper ‘Daily Living Spheres' and establish elderly care plan for it. Considering the points above, this study proposes the size of ‘Daily Living Spheres’ for the elderly, the kind and amount of elderly care facilities in it for the construction of Community Based Elderly Care System.
