In October 1990, we conducted a comparative care needs study of long-term care facilities for the aged. The subjects consisted of 1,262 inmates in 12 facilities: 314 in three general hospitals (average age: 78.5); 391 in three hospitals for the aged (80.8); 410 in four skilled nursing homes (81.2); 147 in two special nursing homes (81.3). Result of the survey, (1)among the ADL, “mobility” with whole assistance was 39.8% of the subjects in general hospitals, 57.5% in hospitals for the aged, 22.7% in skilled nursing homes, and 36.7% in special nursing homes. (2)The ratio of “seriously” and “very seriously” demented subjects, as judged according to KARASAWA's scale, was 16.9% in general hospitals, 27.9% in hospitals for the aged, 16.3% in skilled nursing homes, and 22.4% in special nursing homes.
