[Purpose] To examine changes in indoor life-space and subjective well-being due to home-visit rehabilitation. [Participants and Methods] Eight new home-visit rehabilitation users with orthopedic disease participated in this study. The Home-based Life-Space Assessment (Hb-LSA) was used to analyze indoor life-space, and the Philadelphia Geriatric Center Morale Scale (PGC-MS) was used to evaluate subjective well-being. [Results] After 6 months, both Hb-LSA and PGC-MS had significantly improved. [Conclusion] Home-visit rehabilitation improved life-space according to the life function of users, and Hb-LSA has the potential to provide a detailed assessment of the changes. Besides, the results show that improvements in ADL and life-space may improve subjective well-being.
