The respondents were 411 elderly who were 65 years and older. The data were analyzed by statistical methods as frequency, chi-square test, and logistic regression analysis. The results of this study were as follows. First. 66.2% of the elderly used home care service, 52.6% used home-visiting health service, 29.7% used various welfare services. Second, presence of caregiver, subjective economic level, beneficiary of public assistance, numbers of diseases were significant predictors of total home care services for the elderly.
