Abstract
A rapid transition of the Japanese society into the Aged Society with families of a small number of children has been requiring a drastic change in our social condition. It can easily be expected now and in the future that the elderly disabled would encounter various unexpected problems. We consider that the introduction of the Public Assistance Insurance is aimed at straggling those problems under the cooperation of the elderly and all persons involved, based clearly on the national self-consciousness. We, therefore, sent questionnaires to the employees of the facility of health care services for the elderly to examine the actual condition of the facility. According to the results obtained, we discussed the position of the facility in the present society, which may play a pivotal role in cares in institutes or at home, and reviewed the role of a physical therapist in the facility.
