台灣已邁向高齡社會，依據內政部戶政司統計至2008年11月爲止，台灣65歲以上的老年人口爲239萬人，佔總人口的10.4%，面對高齡社會所帶來的衝擊，我國政府也在近幾年開始推行在地老化的社會福利政策，且在2005年開始實施「社區照顧關懷據點計畫」，計劃執行至今勢必需要再進行深入分析社區關懷照顧據點其實施效益與未來可能的發展性。故爲檢視社區關懷照顧據點明確對老年人整體生活的影響，本研究採量化研究針對320位高雄市境內接受社區關懷照顧據點服務之65歲以上老年人進行抽樣調查，問卷編制則參考歐盟所發展之「社會品質指標」概念做爲重點依據，依據研究問題與資料性質，選用次數分配、t檢定、單因子變異數分析、迴歸分析相關等統計方法進行資料的分析，從中瞭解老年人社會經濟安全、社會包容、社會凝聚力、社會充權四大面向之現況，並藉此探討社區照顧關懷據點服務之項目、服務品質、老人參與狀況與社區社會品質之間的相關性。依本研究迴歸分析可看出參與據點之老人特質、參與社區照顧關懷據點服務狀況及社會品質之相關。首先，老年人口的年紀、身心狀況與據點服務的提供是相互影響，服務的方式、內容會影響老人的參與或滿意度，而不同需求的老人則會選擇使用適合自己需求的服務；而另一方面，老人特質、服務的提供狀況亦會直接影響老人對社會品質的主、客觀感受。因而「參與據點之老人特質」、「參與社區照顧關懷據點服務狀況」及「社會品質」有著密不可分的關係。

Taiwan's society has been aging. According to statistics compiled by the Department of Household Registration (Minister of the Inferior), as of November, 2008, the over-65 population had reached 2.39 million-10.4% of the total population. The past several years, the Taiwanese government has attempted to execute social welfare policy to face the challenges of an aging society. As an example, the ”Community Care Sites Plan” has been in operation, since 2005. This Community Care Sites Plan should, at this juncture, be analyzed for its past efficiencies and potential future directions.In order to analyze the apparent impacts upon the lives of the elderly resulting from the Community Care Sites Plan, this research adopts a quantitative research method, which uses sampling investigations on 500 65-year-old people from Kaohsiung County who have received benefit from the Community Care Sites Plan.The main concepts of the questionnaires are referred to the ideas of ”the social quality index” developed by EU. The statistical methods like number distribution, t-tests, analysis of variance, and regression analysis are selected according to the questions and the data sorts. Through the data analysis, we can understand the situations of four directions, social economical security, social tolerance, social coherence, and social empowerment for elders, discover the relations between the items, service qualities, involving situations of elders, and community social qualities of Community Care Sites services, and further explore the suitability of the ”Social Quality Index,” developed by EU, which is extensive used in community care sites in Taiwan. Consequently, the Community Care Sites would be urged to extend the services levels, inspire new ideas for local innovative services, and reach the purposes of sustainable developing the community welfare services works.
