Description
Kazuma Haida, Yuria Yamasaki, and Nanami Sugawara ask what home means to older adults with health woes in Japan, in work from 2026. Home is more than a care site, yet its felt sense for this group was not well mapped. More than fifty adults in town, fringe, and farm zones gave long talks.
Four themes frame their sense of home. Free choice and self rule lead, then a place that holds daily life up. A known place held dear comes next, with prized bonds to close folks last. Home spills past walls to the whole near zone. Care staff should learn each sense of home.
