We ran a follow-up survey for 3 years on the senile dementia aged in Sendai, and on the basis of the data from the survey, we have noted the changes needed to be made to update the care service of those people whose conditions keep changing, thus requiring such revisions. Most senile dementia aged do not convalesce and need more and more care service. That means the responsibility of people who take care of them becomes heavier and heavier. Through the studies of 7 typical cases, we can show that social support such as the care service at home or at civic establishments or instituions is in increasing demand.
