Nursing Homes of the Elderly in Asia: A comparison of Korea and Japan

Myunghee Jung¹

Abstract: Purpose -The purpose of this paper was to examine the views of nursing homes for the elderly in Korea and Japan. Research design, data, and Methodology -This study aims to review the past researches on the social welfare and nursing homes for the elderly in Korea and Japan. A comprehensive view is offered with comparisons on the differences between the two countries regarding the dramatic increase of the elderly population. Results -It could be seen that with the significant increase of the elderly populations… Show more

Promoting the facility input of care institutions for older people is the key to the development of the care for older people. With a steady increase in the proportion of older people in China, institutional care services are considered as an important tool for older people. Policies such as government bed subsidies and tax incentives are accelerating the development of institutional care services. However, when the care for older people related policy instrument mixes lacks overall comprehensiveness, consistency and balance, the policy instrument mixes may become a “policy mess”, in turn, affecting the development of care institutions for older people. Studies focusing on the combined effects of different characteristics of a policy instrument mix are scarce. To understand how to better use the policy mix to facilitate the care for older people, it is necessary to analyze the characteristics of care policies for older people and its role in the construction of care institutions for older people. Therefore, this study analyzes the impacts of comprehensiveness, consistency, and balance of policy instruments on the facility input of care institutions for older people. An empirical analysis of related policies from 2011 to 2019 in China shows that a synergetic effect exists between the policy instrument mix and the facility input of care institutions for older people. This study points that the comprehensiveness and consistency of the policy instrument mix positively affect the facility input of care institutions for older people, while the impact of balance is not significant. It not only provides feasible policy suggestions for China's policy-making departments to optimize the care for older people related policies, but also helps care institutions for older people further understand the characteristics of policy portfolios and realize sustainable development.

This study explores a method to improve the site selection for elderly care facilities in an aging region, using Hefei City, China, as the study area. It combines topographic conditions, population distribution, economic development status, and other multi-source spatial big data at a 500 m grid scale; constructs a prediction model for the suitability of sites for elderly care facilities based on integrated learning; and carries out a comprehensive evaluation and feature importance analysis. Finally, it uses trained random forest (RF) and gradient boosting decision tree (GBDT) models to predict preliminary site selection results for elderly care facilities. A second screening that compares three degrees of population aging is conducted to obtain the final site selection results. The results show the following: (1) The comprehensive evaluation indexes of the two integrated learning models, RF and GBDT, are above or below 80% as needed, which is better than the four single learning models. (2) The prediction results of the RF and GBDT models have 87.9% and 78.4% fit to existing elderly facilities, respectively, which indicates that the methods are reasonable and reliable. (3) The results of both the RF and GBDT models indicate that the closest distance to healthcare facilities and the size of the population distribution are the two most important factors affecting the location of elderly care facilities. (4) The results of the preliminary site selection show an overall spatial distribution of higher suitability in the main urban area and lower suitability in the suburban counties. The secondary screening finds that priority needs to be given to the periphery of the main urban area and to Lujiang County and other surrounding townships that have a more serious degree of aging as soon as possible in the site selection of new elderly care facilities.
