We carried out a field research in Norway in 1998 to investigate real life of aged persons living alone in their houses. Through this research we found that aged persons were receiving various proper social supports so as to maintain their life in their house. AIso we noticed that one of very important supports was performed by a center of self-help tooIs and instruments. This center was a governmental organization. Then we visited one center in Oestfold prefecture located in the city of Fredrikstad. In the center, 35 fulltime staff member were working as designers, engineers, work therapists, physical therapists, nurses, a sign language interpreter and so on.
