 In this study, we looked at the residents of our geriatric health service facility (GHSF) and the clients of our day care rehabilitation service in order to gain insight into the kinds of services needed for supporting elderly persons living at home. In our GHSF, we compared the 2005 data with that of 2001. In 2005, the number of residents had increased and more residents were aiming to return home. The number of residents who did return home had also increased. About 50 percent of those who returned home came back to the facility, and repeated going back and forth between their home and the GHSF. More than 60 percent of the clients attending our day care service came immediately after getting out of the hospital or GHSF. About 50 percent of the clients were within 6 months post onset, and about 70 percent of the clients receiving speech therapy at the day care were using other home care services.

 As journeying between home and the GHSF has become one way to support the home life of elderly persons, speech-language-hearing therapists (ST) at the GHSF support long-term recovery of those who have communication disorders. In the day care service, the ST should be prepared to meet a wide range of needs from supporting home life to working on the clients' impairments. We should endeavor to exchange information and improve the quality of our professional service in supporting elderly persons living at home.
