Objective:To identify related challenges and develop improvement plans, we examined the status of cardiac rehabilitation of elderly patients with heart failure in day-care facilities within a metropolitan area.

Methods:A mail questionnaire survey was conducted among 126 day-care facilities registered with the Japan Association for Day Care. The questionnaire consisted of 14 questions regarding the following:1) facility attributes;2) difficulties in managing patients with heart failure and the solutions applied;3) rehabilitation service contents and methods to manage risks in the facility, including sudden changes in patient conditions;and 4) if acceptance of patients with heart failure was difficult, the cause of the difficulty.

Results:The response rate was 41%.Physical therapists were the largest professional group, accounting for 67.8% of all respondents. As for facility users, 70.4% were aged ≥75 years. Patients with heart failure were treated in 87.6% of the facilities. The challenges of cardiac rehabilitation in the day-care facilities are summarized in 3 points as follows:1) an increasing number of elderly patients with heart failure in communities, 2) lack of preparedness to manage patients with heart failure in community-based cardiac rehabilitation, and 3) insufficient medical information sharing between facilities and hospitals.

Conclusion:The results highlight the importance of creating guidelines on cardiac rehabilitation for community-dwelling elderly patients with heart failure and facility-hospital sharing tools that specify information useful for both parties to provide appropriate cardiac rehabilitation in day-care facilities.
