We carried out a survey of the present status of the elderly living alone in A-machi, took a general view of the health and welfare system for the elderly in A-machi, and discussed the direction of support for the elderly living alone at home in association with the community. The number of the elderly, particularly the late-stage elderly, living alone has been increasing, and their health condition and social activity was decreasing with age, suggesting the late-stage elderly are at a high health risk. These results suggested the necessity for interventions in the lives of elderly, particularly the late-stage elderly living alone, with consideration for the prevention of states requiring care. The health and welfare plan for the elderly in A-machi was a comprehensive one but contained only a few services for the late-stage elderly. The service system for the elderly should be re-evaluated based on the characteristics of the elderly. In addition, services attaching importance to mutual support among inhabitants and their relationship with family members may be necessary.
