高齢者グループリビングの持続的運営に関する研究

－先駆的事例 COCO湘南台の15年の経験にもとづく考察－

抄録

 15 years have passed since COCO Shonandai, Elderly Group Living (EGL) was established. The residents became older and changed. We analyzed the correspondence of the management organization to these changes and made the problems clear.
 1) 3 people who have lived since the start point passed away in 2009 and the new residents joined as new members. Although ageing and the increase of the care-needed members were eased temporarily, the situation will proceed to the similar one of 2009 again.
 2) The residents of COCO Shonandai have changed frequently since 2010. This situation might continue and the diversity of residents will extend. It is necessary to improve the decision-making system to correspond to the new situation. The management body should have responsibility to cooperate with the service suppliers, to make consensus among the residents.
