Abstract: This study improved the quality of the evaluation index via. fuzzy analysis of the evaluators and the evaluators of the elderly care facilities. The 2018 survey was conducted by 19 evaluation experts (evaluators and assessors) for elderly nursing facility in January 2019. The main results, first, compliance with facility standards may be deleted as it is an indicator to be determined at the time of establishing an elderly nursing home. Second, emphasized the rights of recipients not the difference in weight between sub-indicators. Third, utilization and exchange of community resource’s is a low priority, however, it should be used as an evaluation index to provide various services for the elderly residents. Fourth, ‘provision process’ requires additional factors such as ‘end care’ rather than deletion of evaluation factors because each index is related to the service provided to the elderly. ‘Benefit provided result’s cannot replace the six evaluation factors and apparently some degree of correction is needed.
