摘要

The ratio of elderly people in population is getting higher day by day.

On the other hand, health services have increased in terms of quality and quantity depending both on the development of the medicine in scientific and technical terms, and the concept of health's being more comprehensive. Because of these increase, home care procedures which were ignored once by the contemporary medicine that supports the hospital-based care have become more widespread. With these two new developments, home care services for elderly people have become more important and so more valuable to focus on. Within the framework of this study, at first some information notes about the home care and geriatric and gerontology are presented, then ethics of geriatrics and gerontology, and ethics of home care are examined in general, and finally ethical issues in the intersection of this two set are evaluated in particular.
