Abstract

We have three hypothesizes. 1) It is necessary to guarantee "eat", "void" and "sleep" for people with severe physical and intellectual disabilities. 2) Especially "eating habit's" is origin of "power of living". 3) It is important for these people to live in the small-mass unit which has a comfortable day room with open kitchen in the middle of unit. The aim is to verify third hypothesis. In this paper, from the viewpoint of health, physical condition and daily life, we analyzed residents' actual conditions by the case data and the questionnaire. And a part of the hypothesis was verified.
