Purpose：The purpose of this study is to clarify the process of building a home care life for patients with medical procedures.
Methods：As a method of study, we conducted semi-structural interviews with 6 home care recipients and used the Grounded Theory Approach for analysis.
Result：The subject had decided on the《choice of future in despair》 due to the《desire not to be a burden on the family》and the《determination to perform untested medical procedures at home》. The subject used the agonizing experience of 《the anguish of finding a place to live as a sick person》 and 《the frustration of living a life dependent on uncertain supporters》 as sustenance for themselves, and took【steps to break the status quo】. By striving to《do what they can do by themselves》, they experienced a change in their feelings, such as 《a budding desire to be involved with others》,《regaining herself with the support of others》, and 《a budding desire to help others》.
Conclusion：It was suggested that supporters need to provide support to help the patient achieve self-realization as an individual, based on a relationship as a partner in building a treatment life in which the patient can live with the disease, so that the patient can 【step out to break the status quo】.
