Geriatric intermediate care facilities (GICF) were started by subsidies from the Ministry of Health and Welfare in 1987 to promote the return of elderly from hospitals to their homes or nursing homes and to give support to the cared elderly and their families. This paper describes about the function of a GICF established in a rural community in Oita, Kyushu. One hundred seventy four elderly users (66 males, 108 females: mean age; 81 years old) who were discharged from the GIFC between July 1990 and June 1991 were studied. The main results were as follows: 1. The reason for admission to the GIFC of 174 elderly users were cerebrovascular disease in 50 cases, bone and/or joint diseases in 63, senile dementia in 25 and other diseases in 36.2. Eighty three persons (48%) needed continuous care. 3. The activities of daily living of approximately 37% of those who needed continuous care improved to some degree. 4. Ninety six users were discharged and went home, 43 were readmitted to a hospital, 32 were admitted to a nursing home, and 3 died at the GIFC. 5. The situation as of September 1991 was 70 persons (40%) at home, 12 persons in hospital, 33 persons in the GICF, 35 persons in nursing homes and 24 deaths. 6. Fifty two persons (37%) used the GICF more than twice. These findings suggested that the GICF enabled care for weak elderly persons at home.
