Abstract

This research considers how efficient respite care can support home caregivers to create a sense of community among frail elderly people. <br>  First of all, it identified four types home of caregivers based on the burden they felt. They were as follows: Type1; home caregiver under a great deal of mental stress, “Type2; home caregiver with a great deal of physical stress, “Type3; home caregiver who is not under too much stress, and “Type4; home caregiver under very little stress. The research also analyzed the home caregivers’ backgrounds, the effect of the use of respite care on home caregivers, and home caregivers’ needs based on the four types of home caregivers. It considered the level of respite care based on this analyis. <br>  It would be effective for home caregivers to manage as follows in a care provision environment. For Type1, it would be useful if the elderly had respite care for about one week. For Type2, it would be useful if the elderly had respite care for several days. For Type3, it depends on the caregivers’ requirements. And for Type4, it depends on the situation of the caregivers. In these ways, respite care can become a service which protects home caregivers, and a service which supports the creation of a sense of community among frail elderly people.
