点击翻译按钮获取中文摘要

I researched into the domiciliary care service, especialy the home help services in Denmark. Comparing with its results, I have studied on the valuation of home help services under the Long-term Care Insurance system in Japan.In Denmark each local government has authority to make a original table with which it measures physical ability of dependent persons. No uniform table is in Denmark. The local government that I visited has used a table made up of some items. Those are 1. meal, 2. incontinence, 3. mobility indoors, 4. toilet, 5. movement, 6. changing of clothes, 7. daily hygienic treatment, 8. cooking, 9.bathing, 10.house keeping, 11. activity outdoors and 12. communication.Visiting nurses or home-helpers can write down the tables then and there. After that, they have a meeting, discuss the cases that they are caring and decide hours when they do services to the dependent persons. The domiciliary care service system in Denmark is different from the Long-term Care Insurance system in Japan in the autonomy of the individual and local governments.
