A care index for the involvement and difficulty of the care given to the aged and disabled was evaluated for its ability to measure the actual care given. Care workers numbering 968 at 280 health and welfare institutions or communities in Okayama Prefecture were surveyed with mail questionnaires regarding an evaluation of the care actually given. We computed the care index by multiplying the average involvement and difficulty of the care work for statistical analysis. Our care index may be a valuable index when used to manage the care given daily to the aged and disabled. Various difference in scores on the care index resulted from the occupational background of the care workers and the nature of the institutes or communities. The care index for the care worker in a special geriatric nursing home was higher than that in geriatric convalescent hospitals. The care index of the care worker in a special geriatric nursing home bears a most striking correlation coefficient to that in geriatric convalescent hospitals and mainly indicate the support of care and housekeeping are the main interventions. The care index of social workers was higher in the information exchange and in part was concerned with care and housekeeping. The care index of the home helper was lower for the categories of housework and body care. The care index may be useful for care management and care planning for individual clients.
