Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate how experience of a tea culture therapy program provided by the day care center was like to elders who were currently using that center, ultimately setting up grounds based on which such program is feasible in the field of senior welfare service practice. Participants of the study were 3 elders. They were selected through purposive sampling and highly willing to take part in the abovementioned therapy program. This study applied 10 sessions of that program to the participants. As a result of data analysis, the study drew out 3 main categories and 9 sub-categories. Based on its findings, then, this research made some following suggestions. First, it's needed to differentiate and individually customize service programs provided by the day care center. Second, it's desirable to diversify the foresaid service programs depending on the classification of senior clients of the day care center. Third, the day care establishment for elders should develop more variety of service programs. And fourth, the day care center should use the tea culture therapy program in a way that encourages elders to positively reconsider the meaning of life.
