THE RELATION BETWEEN SERVICE PROVIDING REGIONS AND SERVICE CONTENTS OF HOME VISIT NURSING/HOME HELP OFFICE : Comparison between Japan and Copenhagen, Denmark

要旨

The objective of this paper is to analyze the service providing regions of home visit nursing/home help offices and their organizations in Copenhagen and Japan, then to observe how they influence the providing services and even the elderly people's lives. Conclusions are, (a) Denmark's services provide shorter duration but more frequent visits, and cover wider time span of a day. (b) Causes of such distinctions include differences in policies, amount of family nursing, and size of service region. (c) Japanese sizes of service regions are much larger, thus moving-loss becomes significant, making it more difficult to provide shorter and frequent visits.
