Objectives: This study examined factors that may improve rehabilitation programs provided by home care nurses for the bed-ridden elderly without or with mild dementia in F city, Fukui prefecture. Methods: The survey was conducted on rehabilitation programs of sixty-two bed-ridden elderly clients who agreed to join this study by asking their home care nurses to complete questionnaire. Those rehabilitation programs provided by the nurses were compared with the ones planned by a physical therapist and some public health nurses with trained experience of physical therapy, after their visits to the clients' residence. Results: Exercises for range of motion (85.5%) and muscle strength (64.5%) were provided more than holding sitting position, muscle stretch, and massage to maintain or improve clients' physical function, and less training for their activities of daily living (ADL) than their physical function. Recommended training plans made by the physical therapist and the public health nurses suggested home care nurses should provide more training for ADL than physical functions, and less exercises for range of motion and muscle strength. Conclusions: Collaboration with physical thrapists will help home care nurses improve rehabilitation programs for developing clients' ADL.
