Abstract

A welfare house for the aged, which is an independent living among facilities in continuing care retirement community (CCRC), is mostly not adequate for systematic management and organization. Moreover, they poorly manage their financial issues, and the quality and payment of service worker are below average. The purpose of this study is to investigate the status of welfare house for the aged and to define its management characteristics. Using the investigating tool, we conducted a survey on workers in the welfare houses for the aged in January and February 2019. The findings from this are as follow: In large, Korea’s welfare house for the aged showed relatively good management on human resources and resident’s care, whereas showed relatively bad management on community resources utilization. If a resident of a welfare house for the aged needs to move to a nursing home within the same complex due to deteriorated health conditions, he/she may move in preferentially over others, which is determined through staff meeting in accordance with management guidelines. This study could be used as a fundamental data in planning and developing a welfare house for the aged of CCRC.
