Host: The Japan Society for Management Information
Recently, as Japanese society ages, increasing the number of people waiting to be admitted to nursing home care has become a critical issue. However, comparing the number of people waiting by prefectures, the situation varies among them. Thus, we extracted characteristic of areas with low waiting and revealed the factors reducing the number of people waiting. It is found that private nursing home cares are enhanced in the areas with low waiting. Additionally, families live nearby and aged person are not tight on money. We also revealed that the fixed number of private nursing home cares is affected by the number of home care support services and low labor cost. We provided useful information for care policy.
