Distribution characteristics of residences for elderly people with services in the greater Tokyo area based on the residents' care level

Abstract

Abstract This study analyzed location trends in residences for elderly people with services in the Tokyo Metropolitan Area, and the result shows that residences for elderly people with services in the central metropolitan area have a large area of housing, and many residents with high levels of independence live in it and are provided home‐care services for the elderly. On the contrary, residences for elderly people with services in remote areas from the Tokyo metropolitan area are smaller, and many older adults need nursing care to move into these housing units. Also, these tiny residences for elderly people have a daycare service to provide care for their residents.
