A movable and portable care bedpan provided with a bedpan main body having an opening that is pressed against or disposed to oppose a pubic region of a care-receiving person for receiving excrements, and with a cover provided to extend frontward from an upper portion of the opening of the bedpan main body to thereby comprise an entire opening of the bedpan together with the opening of the bedpan main body In the cover is held by a holding mechanism which angle is adjustable, either in a multi-staged or non-staged manner, so as to adjust the size of the entire opening and to shield one's pubic region to be hardly visible from above. Upon connecting an accessory unit to the bedpan it is possible to arrange a care bedpan system for supplying washing water, cleaning water (warm water) and warm air for drying and for sucking excrements (including waste water etc.) and collecting the same in a waste water tank.
