This study attempts to find out the implications of Korea's small - scale multifunctional home care service which is the core of Japan's long - term care insurance reform since its institutionalization in 2006. Small-scale multi-functional home care service, an intermediate form of facility and home, is an elderly caring home service model that strengthens consumers' self-selection in a way that elderly people stay in a stable area for a long time and appropriately combine required services. Japan has been reforming its efforts to enhance the sustainability of aged care services and strengthen ‘aging in place’ through the introduction and universal spread of small scale multi-functional home care services. Small multi-functional residential care facilities are characterized by the strength of providing customized integrated services to enable users to select their own, and by operating a subscription and inclusive license for operators. This study provides an in - depth analysis of the actual cases of operation of small scale multi-functional home care centers and provided implications for Korea 's long-term care policy, especially introduction of Integrated home care service to pursue policy goals of strengthening ‘aging in place’ and enhancing sustainability as in Japan.
