Abstract
The big change in the rehabilitation system was seen as a result of the recent revision of medical treatment fees, but there was no special change in the long-term care insurance. Nevertheless, we can expect a turning point, even in long-term care insurance. Also it is likely that our income will be decreased by the long-term care insurance revision in the next fiscal year. As a developmental change in long-term care insurance after this medical treatment fee revision, we predict quantitative/qualitative change (impairment, need of user) for a day care/entry users in geriatric health services facilities and there is additional also the possibility that many workers in rehabilitation are rapidly joining long-term care insurance institutions. Hereafter, qualitative improvement of geriatric health services facilities and the sorts of occupations related to rehabilitation will be important for our occupational survival.
