Evaluation by Residents after Home Modification for the Disabled in Japan

초록

영어

In Japan, there is a home modification program for the disabled that subsidizes the costs of modifying homes to make them accessible. The disabled can be the beneficiary of the system only once in their lifetimes. The purpose of this study is to evaluate residence in housing modified with the assistance of Japan's home modification program; problems with the home modification program, reasons for the need of re-modification, and satisfaction and dissatisfaction after home modification. Most of the disabled who had had their homes modified expressed satisfaction, saying that their lives had become more convenient after modification. However, some modified parts at their homes are still inconvenient to use because the modifications were carried out without much preparation. Furthermore, as disabilities deteriorate over time, the modified homes need to be updated accordingly. This means that many modified homes are in need of re-modification. The government, therefore, should introduce a program that helps them to modify their homes regardless of whether they previously received home modification assistance.
