Abstract

This study focuses on interactions among residents and care workers in two group care unit facilities for the elderly. The method is the behavior tracking of the elderly and workers every five minutes for twelve hours. The results are as follows : (1) About 45% interactions of all are "potential interaction" which means that workers stay in groups or near residents to have a interaction whenever the resident requests. (2) Potential interaction implies that workers who are doing homelike activities share the time and space with residents, too. (3) Varieties of places and full worker's organization make workers have many kinds of interactions with single resident, and have varieties of potential interactions.
