This study puts its purpose in exploring the factors, affecting the occurrence possibility of risk incident and suggesting plans to preliminarily prevent and manage the risks which can be likely to happen in senior nursing homes by identifying the actual conditions of risk incident and risk management as well as organizational characteristics. To achieve the study goal, it set caregivers of nursing homes as targets by choosing one who had the longest working experience in each facility of 89 senior nursing homes respectively, and it conducted questionnaire surveys on the actual conditions of the occurrence of risk incident within the facilities, risk management level, the occurrence possibility of risk incident and influential factors. 2 facilities were omitted among 72 respondents due to the problem of statistical processing. Finally, descriptive analysis and hierarchial multiple regression analysis were performed by using the SPSS 18.0 statistical program for questionnaire papers. The study results demonstrate that the occurrence possibility of risk types (5-point scale) was 1.9 in work risk, 2.1 in social risk, 2.2 in disaster risk, and 2.7 management (operation) risk. The factors affecting the occurrence possibility of each risk incident were facility risk level (β=.422, p=.001) and facility risk management level (β=.289, p=.013). These factors had a positive effect on the occurrence possibility with the level of p<.001 and p<.05 respectively. In view of the characteristics of senior nursing homes, the occurrence possibility of risk incident is high and the degree of damage caused by accidents is serious. Therefore, continual and systematic risk management is necessary. This study suggests some risk management plans of senior nursing homes based on the study results as follows: First, the survey of actual conditions and environmental improvement should be complemented. Second, mandatory education of risk management, which can strengthen the responsibility of service providers as well as the central operating body, is required. In this regard, the enactment of relevant legislation and local ordinances which can make the matters of risk management education systematic and mandatory is needed.
