The purpose of this paper is to consider the relationship of ability for ADL to living location of the elderly who live in nursing homes. The results are as follows: 1)The simple scale to show ADL of the elderly was designed and it had effective correlation with the living location. 2)The living-like space which set up by bed rooms worked as living location for the elderly with middle or high-care-need. 3)The elderly with high-care-need were displaced living location by care staffs, but there were hardly opportunities except meal time. 4)The elderly with low-care-need showed a tendency to select and displace the living location after meal time.
