Abstract
The elderly housing scheme can be defined by three key characteristics, barrier free design, to provide the care service by the warden, emergency call system.
Especially the warden system is very important to operate the elderly housing.
We surveyed the warden systems of the public elderly housing operated by municipalities in Tokyo Metropolitan.
We can find out three ideal models of the warden system;
Type A: Full time job style; the warden on-site has the duty to reply the emergency call for 24 hours.
Type B: Good neighborhood style; the warden on-site takes care of the elderly tenants such as like a neighborhood.
Type C: Part time job style; the warden has the duty to take care of the elderly tenants for the limited time.
