Aiming to clarify the role and problems of respite care for impaired elderlies, we try to understand the effect of the said care. The results of the survey are as follows: 1) The respite care is effective for clients in lower age brackets as well as for those with neurosis of lesser degree, while it is less effective for clients in higher age brackets as well as for those with neurosis of serious degree. Such being the case, the respite care should be the one that would help maintain and enhance good physical and mental conditions. It is to be noted, however, that sufficient considerations must be given to the facilities as well as to the care itself in order to make the system work. 2) It is noted that care effects on the clients affect the caregivers as well. Garegivers will find it easier to continue care at home in case respite care proves effective. 3) Considerations should be given so that clients at the facilities may be able to live and be cared for the way they are at home, which may lessen the stress on clients and caregivers' work.
