Summary/Abstract: Subjective well-being (SWB) with its challenges may have different meanings in different developmental milestones. Especially in late adulthood, perspectives of how the elderly perceive old age, either in positive attributes or unfavourable ways, may be significant precursors of experienced satisfaction and happiness. The main purpose of this research was to qualitatively explore the SWB among female nursing home residents and elderly females living with their families (N = 12). Results have shown a difference between those who care institutions from those who live with families. Women who are nursing home residents reported perceived lower life sense.
