Research Abstract	The Japanese system of the medical treatment and care of old people is undergoing the most profound restructuring in history, because in modern Japan aged society has changed the traditional care system of old people. So we researches some cases of the advanced community health and care system of olds. Some imperatives of those community care became clear in our field works. Firstly such geriatric medicines and comprehensive medicines of olds need close connection of medical facilities and welfare works. But these needs are not satisfied in those advanced cases. Secondly, formatting such community care system, one most important problem is equipping with the support system of home care for bedridden olds. Thirdly the resolution of those problems turned out to be necessity of realizing intermediate facilities between geriatrics hospitals and olds' homes. Fourthly this formation of such community care system is realized by great efforts of some doctors, because we have not yet established the communities health and care system.
