Abstract
The goals of this study were to (1) explore the factors that go into developing a service management model for an elderly housing business, (2) create a service management model for an elderly housing business, and (3) establish a handbook that serves as a guide for developing a service management model for an elderly housing business. 14 experts for in-depth interviews, 330 respondents for the research questionnaires, 10 luminaries for a focus group seminar to assess the development of service management models in the residential business for the elderly, and 5 experts for the validation of the research tool made up the participants in this research. Questionnaires and in-depth interviews were the research tools. Content analysis was used to examine the data from the in-depth interview, while percentage, mean, standard deviation, exploratory factor analysis, and confirmatory factor analysis were used to analyze the data from the questionnaires.
