However, until nowadays a proper estimation of the medical treatment provided at the Yokufuen, especially from the social welfare approach was insufficient. This work represents a case study of the Yokufuen geriatric care setting with an analysis of medical treatment provided from the viewpoints of nursing and economics. Thus, the analysis has been performed in the following order. First, the social needs put on the base of establishment of the nursing facilities and the following development process of the health care system has been clarified. Second, an analysis of the medical development process has been done. In other words, the needs for the medical treatment and nursing sectors, and possible ways for its satisfaction have been clarified. Then, to summarize the above-mentioned it was analyzed how the Yokufuen geriatric care setting has managed to satisfy the social needs. As a conclusion, medical treatment system provided at the Yokufuen can be considered as a prehistory stage for development of the elderly care system.
