Abstract

The life support comprehensive service C including visited-type service C (hereinafter referred to as visit C) is a long-term care prevention and living support service project for nursing care prevention and living support comprehensive projects. Its focus is to improve ADL/IADL through comprehensive preventative care and daily living support over a period of 3 months. Mr. A, who was certified as Support 2, was struggling to hang up the laundry because of the large number of occupational processes and the laundry basket's carrying distance. We advised Mr. A to move the clothes hanger to more comfortably hang the laundry. We focused on the occupational performance and conducted environmental setting and practice exercises. As a result, three months after the initial assessment, he was able to dry the laundry comfortably, indicating a significant increase in motor and process skills of the AMPS and in Health Related Quality of Life. Thus, occupational therapy may be able to improve ADL/IADL in a short period of time by taking care of visit C.
