The research is based on a questionnaire survey with stratified sampling. The survey was carried out with a specially-designed questionnaire entitled “A Survey of the Need of Home Care Service in Taipei” on a sampling of 350 persons selected from a group of disabled elders and their family members who had received home care from 14 home care service agencies located in Taipei during the year of 2011. The collected data were statistically analyzed by using four statistical methods: descriptive statistical analysis, independent sample t-test, Pearson product-moment correlation coefficient analysis, and linear regression analysis, with the purpose of finding any unmet needs of the disabled elders receiving the home care services and the correlating factors of these unmet needs. The findings of the survey are summarized below: (1) The majority of the disabled elders receiving the home care services were satisfied with the number of hours that were assigned to be spent on them by the home care services to meet their needs. (2) The result of the analysis reveals the fact that the marital status and educational levels of the disabled elders are highly explanatory for the variations in the unmet needs.
