ABSTRACT
With the elderly population increasing in numbers, their demand of adequate medical and psychological care is also rising up. The key goal of promoting physical and mental health in elderly is maintenance of adequate health-related quality of life (QOL). A cross-sectional, descriptive study was conducted from December 2016 to February 2017 among 100 elderly living in nursing facilities and 100 in homes. Older people's quality of Life Questionnaire (OPQOL-35) was utilized to assess their QOL. In the nursing facility dwelling, 17% elderly reported good QOL with highest standardized score in "home and neighbourhood" and lowest in "health" domain. Of the home dwelling elderly, 74% reported good QOL with highest standardized score in "psychological and emotional wellbeing" and lowest in "health" domain.
