Abstract: This comparative study investigates the quality of life and life satisfaction of elderly individuals residing in paid old age homes and within families in Kottayam district, Kerala. The research focuses on understanding the living conditions, socio-demographic details, freedom, mobility, and health-related factors affecting the elderly in these two settings. The study employs a mixed-methods approach, combining quantitative surveys and qualitative interviews to provide a comprehensive analysis. Socio-demographic details reveal significant differences in age, marital status, number of children, and educational qualifications between the two groups. Freedom and mobility factors are explored, emphasizing the challenges faced by elderly individuals in both settings. Quality of life is assessed using the WHO Bref Quality of Life scale, revealing variations in physical, psychological, social, and environmental domains. Life satisfaction is also measured using the Life Satisfaction scale, highlighting overall contentment among elderly individuals in both groups. The study additionally explores the influence of religious beliefs and spirituality on the health perspectives of the elderly. Qualitative findings delve into the complex interplay of health, living environment, stress, and freedom, providing insights into the multifaceted challenges faced by elderly individuals. The research underscores the need for tailored policies and interventions considering the diverse needs of elderly individuals in different living arrangements. This study contributes valuable insights to the discourse on elderly care, informing future initiatives to enhance the well-being of aging populations.
