Abstract

In order to enable frail elderly people to maintain a lifestyle that they are comfortable with, it is important that they maintain the interpersonal relationships which they have formed in their community throughout their life. This study examines the role of small nursing homes in maintaining the relationship between the elderly and the community. For the most part, elderly people would like to remain at home for the duration of their life. When this is no longer possible, however, small nursing homes are able to meet the needs of the elderly by allowing them to maintain personal relationships with family and friends and creating a home-like atmosphere. Such nursing homes recognize the importance of interaction between the elderly residents and the community. Hence, a spirit of mutual understanding and cooperation can be achieved.
