This research is on the activities of those businesses in Ichikawa City who had been renovating the dwellings of elderlies before the Long-term Care Insurance System (L.C.I.S.) was revised. The purpose of this study is to clarify the organization, modus operandi, and related problems of the renovators who implemented home renovations by L.C.I.S. We selected 90 out of the 173 businesses registered to work by the system. Nine renovators were interviewed in August 2005, and a questionnaire was distributed to the remaining eighty-one in October the same year. The number of the survey sheets collected was 61 including the ones interviewed previously; the collection rate was 67,8%. The results of the research show that the majority of those under study were small businesses of less than ten employees and that their line of business included equipment installation and interior decoration apart from renovation work. In terms of classification, they were (1) dealing in the welfare items in small scale as well as renovating homes when such orders were received from the caremanagers, or (2) mainly engaged in home renovations as such orders were received from their business partners in the welfare sector. It is to be noted that both the number of renovation work and the sale thereof had increased marginally or decreased in some business years so much so that no more than 30% remained positive toward this line of business. The problems cited were (1) paper work, (2) payment term, and (3) profit. As mentioned above, renovating the dwellings of aged people produced only small profit which would not give the renovators strong incentive businesswise. However, it should be noted that this sector of market is promised to accrue gain in view of the fact that small businesses have their advantage of being able to quickly respond to requirement and that a new and effective modus operandi may be forthcoming as the parties concerned, i.e., renovators, caremanagers and welfare organizations are skillfully integrated to make the business of home renovation for aged people pay.
