The purpose of this study is to discuss the support system for the elderly and their family members in the unpopulated area. It is focused on the elderly household that they received the support from separately living family members. We supposed that separately living family members visit to the elder's house every weekend for the support elder's daily life and the elderly can live by that support.

The support for the elderly from their children, their brothers and sisters, their relatives, their neighbors, the officers in the community, and the service providers had respective characteristics. In the 6 elderly households we visited, the frequency of the visit by their children was varied. All elderly households had supported their daily life by their children. The support that the elderly and their children needed were support to the child's health, accessing to the service, developing the support network in the community, and so on.
Finally, children visited their elder parents not only weekend. ‘Commute care' is a suitable expression for that situation. And ‘Commute family' is also suitable expression for the family like that situation. Supports for the commute care and commute family were as following : support to the child's health and support for the elderly and their separately living family members by care-manager, support for the children by public health nurse and nurse, home care service for health care and daily life, support network with neighbors in the community in order to guard the elderly safety and to keep the mutual aid in the community.
