| Research Abstract |
The result interviewed about service use and the life with 23 family caregivers who were caring for elderly with dementia was as follows.
1. Many elderly with dementia needed much care, and 4 people had been placed in a care institution.

4. Although caregiver burden was mitigated using day-care-service or respite care in elderly bedridden, it had become physical burden for elderly. Therefore "health management with the service from which condition of disease is obtained by being home to elderly with serious dementia" is required, and "visiting service which mitigates the burden of day-care-service, and promotes a caregiver's self-actualization" was required.
5. At the time of the interview, the family caregivers looked back upon their care, and they told the meaning of care. The importance of "support family caregivers by narrative" was considered. Less
