Abstract
Environment of Elderly Housings with Supportive Services depend on operators due to the registration criteria regarding services.
The elderly who need to relocate to those elderly housings have needs in daily living. For securing stable aging in place, the
housings are supposed to have adequate functions for their needs. Taking “occupancy rate” as one indicator to distinguish the
housings selected, this study aimed to see environmental differences of the housings among three groups consisting of low, mid and
high occupancy rate groups. One way and multiple comparisons were conducted to indicate the environmental differences to verify
the significance of the differences. High occupancy rate group had common features as general multidwellings, respected residents’
individuality, and participated in neighborhood associations. However, the variation of services and preparation of barrier free
facilities in dwelling units did not have relations with occupancy rate, which could be considered the elderly did not have enough
recognition for necessary environment after relocation.
