The purposes of this study are, first, to come up with indices for the number of users of the different long-term care insurance facilities run by different providers throughout Japan in 2010 through an understanding of the quantitative aspects of demands for facilities for elderly persons requiring support and long-term care throughout the country. Second, the study aims to come up with indices for the target levels for establishment of such facilities presented in the government's 2025 Social Security Reform Model and compare them with the indices for the number of users. Further, the study aims to determine the possibility of applying the 2025 targets for establishment of facilities based on an understanding of the actual situation of the number of users and facilities for particular insurance providers.
