Abstract
Quality of life among chronically-ill, community-dwelling older adults is a multi-faceted health construct influenced by socio-demographics, disease self-management, community satisfaction, and spirituality. The presented model highlights the positive effect of disease self-management, community satisfaction, and spirituality which can be utilized in developing appropriate community-based geriatric strategies, policies, and programs. Further, forming collaborative groups with socially-active community elderly and community-based self-care programs can be ventured to address the needs of older adults.
