Although new proactive care support was systematized in the public-care insurance system, it is not enough that effective interventions to swallowing function in elderly people stay at home required support. In present study, we put into effect the proactive motor exercises for swallowing organ to about elderly people stay at home required support. In addition, we examined swallowing function, cognitive function and motivation in pre and post exercises. As a result, their swallowing functions were not significant change. However, their non-verbal intelligence test score and executive test score were significant improvements.
