This study investigated the relationship between the residential environments and activities of dally living (ADL) of at-home elderly people in Fukui, adding “Subjective experience” to international classification of functioning and health (ICF) and paying attention to quality of life (QOL).
As a result, it was suggested that ICF was related to “Subjective experience.” Besides, the relationship between “Subjective experience” and “Activity,” “Participation,” and “Environmental factors” was found out be strong.
Aiming to make such elderly people socially independent on an objective side and mentally independent on a subjective side is important as the intervention method from “Environmental factors.” In addition, this aim is thought to be necessary from a viewpoint of the preventive approach in long term care.
