Abstract：Home health care is an emerging service industry. To meet the requirement of stochastic and periodic home health care and solve the resource scheduling problem in the stochastic and periodic service process, a resource scheduling model is established. The aim of this research is to schedule the service sequence and routes of the next period with the minimal resource cost (for example, service personnel), under the circumstance of the stochastics of the service date. The solution is to use the Monte Carlo simulation to find the best solution which is correspondent to reality by a reasonable Tabu search algorithm. By doing computational experiments within different scales, the validity of this algorithm is verified.
