This study was carried out to examine the development of an "elderly tele-nursing model" for care provided in-home by family members and through remote nursing systems in a super-aging society. This model studied the travel time, cost, and means of transportation of care providers. The pre-survey results regarding elderly tele-nursing show that a son/daughter can visit a parent more than once a week. In the results, the time required for elderly tele-nursing was influenced by whether or not the visitor uses the shinkansen (bullet train of Japan). In the main survey, based on 40 questionnaires, clear differences were observed according to whether visits were "every two weeks" or "once per month". Furthermore, this result was also indicated by t-tests.

This study makes a model of "a limit that son/daughter can visit to a parent who live in remote location" based on an investigation. This model is shown in tracking time, cost, means of transportation, and frequency of visit. As a result, 6 types of model are shown and visualized on maps. Besides, this study investigates and analyzes about end of habitat that prospective elderly person wants to live in.
