This is the study on the current status and system of the elderly medical and welfare facilities with the subjects in Busan. I investigated the problems related to those by analysing the current status and implementing a survey and then suggested a new facility system as a salvation.
At present, the elderly medical and welfare facilities can not receive variety of inmates and also they are operated separatedly so the elderly is not able to receive special treatment and nursing at the same time in one facility. Some nursing facilities can give special treatment by connecting specific hospital when it is necessary, but the connection is not activated than our expectancy at the present.
On the base of these problems, this study suggested 'one-stop service system' that can afford to give nursing and special treatment in a place ranging wider areas as the solution.
The five types of facility system by integrating the results of survey are as followings.
1) Free special nursing facility +The geriatric hospital
2) The profit special nursing facility +The geriatric hospital
3) The geriatric hospital + The hospital rooms with silver town residence type
4) The actual expense special nursing facility +The geriatric hospital + The hospital rooms with silver town residence type
5) The geriatric hospital + The residential welfare service
It seems that the preparation for the elderly is urgent when considering the facilities related to those are not special any more because every one is supposed to use them some day. The kinds and the degree of elderly's diseases will be more duplicated and significant afterwards. Therefore it is expected that more various and specialized facilities are to be required.
