Abstract
This study investigated the relationship between the occupancy rate of elderly housings with supportive services and management structure of them among the urban cities such as Tokyo, Osaka, and Aichi prefecture where the population will be a rapid increase of elderly population. The regression model was conducted by using occupancy rate as the objective variable and using factors of management structure as the explanatory variable. The result suggested that longer operating period, lower cost of living in, lower deposit, operation manual preparation, and acceptance of higher care need level residents might be the effective factors on the rising occupancy rate. On the other hand, in Tokyo, having the day service institution, and having any institution were related to lower occupancy rate. Having communication rooms, having the room for more than two residents, medical management structure, the contents of medical and nursing services, and frequency of recreation had no significant effect on occupancy rate.
