Cloud computing provides low cost, high scalability, availability and disaster recoverability which can be a natural solution for some of the problems faced in aged care information services. After examining the main problems existing in current aged-care at home service and analyzing the advantages of cloud computing, the paper systematically studies the influence of community based aged-care at home information services in cloud computing. The studies show that the powerful ability of data storages and credible security of cloud computing will provide an information services platform, which can update resources at any time for aged-care and will cut the cost of information acquisition of users and enlarge the information services of aged-care.
