Abstract
This paper discusses individual care in nursing home paying attention to the relation between care environment and residents' activities. To make clear this point, observations and surveys on both residents and staff were carried out in four nursing homes. The results of the analysis are as follows: 1. The care staffs activities are affected not only by physical environment but also by the residents' activities. 2. Under the system of individual care, the advantage of a single-bed room is more important than that of a multi- bed room. 3. The system of small care unit is effective if the number of staff is enough.
