The object of this article is an investigation of the status quo and the subject of "Home Help Service At Night" that is one of "the Community-oriented services" that was founded when Long-term care insurance act was amended in 2005. For the aged who need care and live in their home, it is very important that they can make sure of their security at night. From such a point of view, last year, I did a questionnaire survey and hearing to service providers of "Home Help Service At Night" in cooperation with a scholar of social welfare. In this article, first, an outline of "Home Help Service At Night" is explained, and then, the effects of questionnaire survey and hearing is presented. The biggest problem that we can read from them is that this service has few users. This article investigations the causes of this from the point of view of comparison with "emergency report service" that is similar to "Home Help Service At Night".Finally, this article investigations the status quo and subjects of "Home Help Service At Night" from a legal point of view, and points out a few policy subjects for the future.
