This study is a case study on the 1-year independent living experience of six people with mental diseases. They started living independently with the help of ‘T’ mental rehabilitation facility's independent living support service. Data collection was conducted twice in an in-depth interview between 2019.6-2020.5(approximately at the 5-month period and 11-month period). Collected data was analyzed using intra-case analysis and inter-case analysis of qualitative case study methods. Analysis results were began indpendent living with concerns and excitement, arising problems intertwined with real life, becoming familiar with independent living, changes in daily life due to independent living, dreaming of the future due to 1-year independent living experience. Based on these results, the following practical implications are suggested : individualized support for independent living and the need to examine service providers' stereotyped presumptions about lifestyle, approach to the problems of everyday trifles, coping with emotional problems such as loneliness, the importance of mental rehabilitation facilities as a space to support life, importance of completing daily tasks to maintain independent living, and independent living support measures.
