This research is to understand the effects of senior simulation on employees of elderly care facilities and utilize it in their job training. Methods: This research is a nonequivalence control group pre-to-post quasi-experiment research. 18 employees who have experienced senior simulation are set as test group and 18 other employees who have not experienced senior simulation are set as control group. Results: The hypothesis that ``the test group which has experienced senior simulation will show a positive change in their attitude on elderly care, compared to the control group`` and ``the test group which has experienced senior simulation will show a positive change in understanding of elders, compared to the control group`` was supported. The hypothesis that ``the test group which has experienced senior simulation will show a positive change in job satisfaction and performance of duties, compared to the control group`` was dismissed. Conclusion: The senior simulation seems to contribute to elderly care facilities employees` change in their viewpoints of elders and broaden their understanding of them. The senior simulation was meaningful to provide basic help with implementing job training programs.
