Outline of Final Research Achievements |
The purpose of this research is to study sustainability of a long-term care system by examining the roles of family, public Long-term care insurance, and community. We analyzed national data in Japan and the US to examine how family caregiving trends have changed, examined the relationships between the usage of in-home service and institutionalization among older adults with long-term care needs, and conducted a web-based questionnaire study among male working caregivers. This study shows the diversification of long-term care situation in Japan, which requires modification of public Long-term care insurance services. Also, the study suggests that companies in communities may be one of possibilities to sustain long-term care system.
