This study aims at providing an upgraded suggestion to improve residential satisfaction for the elderly people. For this purpose, the current level of residential satisfaction will be examined and variations that impact measuring elements for the residential satisfaction will be theoretically reassessed. The subjects were selected from five nursing facilities and 6 skilled nursing facilities in a metropolitan area. Using MMSE-K method, 140 seniors whose points were over 24, considered cognitively normal. The residential satisfaction was determined using RSQ developed by Boldy(2001). Also, K-ADL was used to examine ADL. To see the subjects’ depression level, ’K-GDS was used. Zimet, at el. (1988)’s device was also used to see the care providers’ support. The factors that affect the elderly people’s residential satisfaction were categorized as personal, care provider, and facility for the analysis. The overall residential satisfaction was 3.69 on a 5-point scale. Among the affective factors that revealed statistical significance were ADL, depression, the relationship with the care providers and their support, and health care service. This study was done to give suggestions to improve residential satisfaction of the aged and to serve as a basis for policy strategies by examining the current conditions of the nursing facilities.
