The practice of TAKUROSYO has extended. TAKUROSYO means a frame of services and facilities that has multi-service of the [Daycare (established Day-Service function)], [Staying (established Short-Staying function)], and the [Residence (established Group-Living function)]. Therefore, the senior citizen's life can be supported continuously in TAKUROUSYO. In this research, "Small-scale nursing care facilities for elderly people based on day service" including TAKUROSYO were analyzed. In this paper, the regional difference of the management modality and nursing needs of these facilities is analyzed. It was expected that was different according to such as the aging of population, how much can the family nurse, and how many senior citizen support facilities are there at the locality. A lot of parts of the TAKUROSYO management based on  exible service with local conditions are contradictory to a managerial vision under the new system that is uniform regulations throughout the country. Danger of destroying the senior citizen's life is involved to the system management that doesn't consider the regionality.

Yamada et al (2008) [3] grasped the regional difference in demand for nursing facilities by means of interviews. Yamamoto et al (2015) [4] considered elements such as the positioning of various equipment and nursing modality within the recovery rehabilitation ward as spatial structure and examined the reality of activities of residents in their leisure time.…”
