This paper explores a care support system that can guess the way aged persons feel and evaluates it from the viewpoint of sleep in care houses. For this purpose, this paper focuses on the daily activities (e.g., meal and rehabilitation) of the care plan (i.e., rough schedules in a day) for an aged person, and analyzes some activities which derive a deep and stable sleep before the great east Japan earthquake on 11th March 2011 and derive a light and unstable sleep after the earthquake. The human subject experiments in the actual care house have revealed that our proposed system has a great potential of guessing the change of the way the aged woman feels, i.e., it could guess that she became to lose much of her appetite but became to do as much rehabilitation exercise as she can for struggling with her diabetes. To investigate the reason of such a change of the way the aged woman feels, this study interviewed her and confirmed that she became to change the way she feels by hearing the news of the death of many people by the earthquake.
