This paper aims to compare the care system for the elderly mentally handicapped in Japan and Germany. At present the number of elderly mentally handicapped in Japan and Germany is increasing gradually. Most elderly mentally handicapped in both countries lives in institutions for mentally handicapped adults. Some of them are very bored there because they do not need to work any more and have too much free time. Others need mental and physical care from care workers because of severe handicaps. But the care services are not organized enough for them because the care staff in institutions are not well trained to care for such people and the special equipment needed for proper care is not available. In the future the care service system and the training of careworkers for the elderly mentally handicapped should be better organized.
