The results of Barthel Index was 91.8±7.0. The mean of grip strength was 14.2±6.6 Kg. For correlation study, the correlation coefficient for age and grip strength was r=-0.27 (p＜0.05), for PPT and Barthel Index was r=0.52 (p＜0.0l). The assessment of health status and physical function of the elderly living in a long term care facility will help us understand the characteristics of this group of people.
