“…Similarly old subjects in other studies spent their leisure times by themselves by walking, going to a park, listening to music (Silverstein & Parker, 2002); studying, learning (Reichstadt et al, 2007;Roelofs, 584 M. Bagheri-Nesami et al 1999;Silverstein & Parker, 2002); and making a call (Ravanipour, Salehi, Taleghani, Abedi, Schuurmans, & de Jong, 2008).

“…Therefore, older people represent an increasing proportion of the population worldwide. According to the 1994 Census Bureau in Iran, approximately 6.6% of the entire population of 65 million people in Iran is over 60 years old, and it is predicted that Iran's elderly will reach 10 million by the year 2019 (Ravanipour, Salehi, Taleghani, Abedi, Schuurmans, & de Jong, 2008).

“…Earlier studies recognized several resources available to older home-dwelling people. These resources have been noted as important dimensions in quality of life and psychological well-being, and include social relationships and elements of meaningful daily living (Low & Molzahn, 2007;Jopp et al, 2008;Eloranta et al, 2010), sense of coherence (Ravanipour et al, 2008;Janssen et al, 2012), experience of health (Reichstadt et al, 2007;Hirao et al, 2012), social and cultural environment, including safety and functionality of the environment (Forssen, 2007;Zhou et al, 2011), and resources for those with a reduced self-care capacity (Borg et al, 2008;Salguero et al, 2011).…”

In this qualitative focus group study, the resources available to older home-dwelling people, particularly incoming and existing home care clients, are described from the viewpoint of home care professionals (n = 32). The data were analyzed using inductive content analysis. There were three categories of older people requiring resources from the viewpoint of interviewers: home-dwelling people, incoming home care clients, and existing home care clients. Based on the analysis, the resources of older home-dwelling people were categorized in terms of support, meaningful life, everyday activities, and environment. Incoming home care client resources were support, out-of-home activities, in-home activities, and environment. Existing client resources were described in terms of support, everyday activities, and environment. Home care professionals described the resources of the older home-dwelling people in diverse ways, but those of the perspective of existing clients were reduced. The biggest difference was in everyday activities. Psychological and social resources, including meaningful life and social relationships, seemed to be forgotten. All available resources must be taken into account, especially in the everyday home care services for existing home care clients.
