Description A descriptive survey study was conducted to determine if there was a relationship between satisfaction with hospital discharge planning and the ability of the elderly to cope with activities of daily living in the home setting. Using a statistical correlation, the study indicated there was significant satisfaction with discharge planning, and that all of the elderly subjects in this study were able to cope with activities of daily living in the home setting. While it was noted that teaching and/or planning did not exceed seventy-six percent in any age group, there was consistent satisfaction voiced by the subjects. The results of the study indicated that most elderly people in this convenience sample did not have extensive health care needs, involving major life-style changes, and, their need for assistance was primarily that of a supportive nature.
