The analysis method was conducted with t-test and to analyze the difference in the beneficiary family's intention to use facility benefits depending on the demographic, health, and residential environment characteristics of the beneficiary. In addition, a binary logistic regression analysis was performed to determine the effect on the intention of use.

The characteristics of the residential environment are the owner of the hou se (OR=1.477, p<).05) or chartered (OR=1.764, p<.05) for a residence period of more than 20 years (OR=.706, p<.05), it was found that the family's willingness to use the facility was lowered when there were toilet safety handlers (p<.05) in the residential space and when there was a wheelchair movable front door and space (p<.01).
Conclusion : First, in establishing a community care system, care resources will have to be distributed in a balanced manner within the family or community. Second, policies that take into account mental problems such as cognitive function and dementia are needed in addition to physical function. Third, the improvement of the residential environment should be made to improve the convenience of the recipient's daily life while also easing the burden of care for the recipient's family. Above all, the establishment of a home-centered care system will be based on the direction of improving the quality of life for both recipients and their families.
