Residential care consists of care work and social work. But the approach to social work practice in present residential homes in Japan is very ambiguous, and it doesn't necessarily practice social work which needs for people in residential care. On the other hand, workers in present field work agencies have large case-loads, and workers who were trained well are very few. So once dependent people are placed in residential homes, workers in field work agencies rarely intervene with them. Therefore positive social work practice has been needed for people in residential care. The author thinks that residential homes should carry out central roles in social work practice for them, so they should establish residential social workers. The main functions of residential social workers are dependency investigation, case planning and case management. Residential social workers carry out their roles as dependency investigators, family social workers, and permanent placement workers in cooperation with field work agencies. Permanency planning which has been good history and has been practiced in United States should be developed as social work practice in residential homes in Japan.
