| dc.description.abstract | [This thesis explores the quality of life experiences of Nepalese older adults 65 years and older in Tokha, Kathmandu. It further explores what can improve their quality of life experiences. A qualitative study with a phenomenological approach was used for the research. Data was collected via interviews with ten participants after purposive and convenience sampling. After the interviews were transcribed, an inductive approach was used to analyze the data and produce the results. Similar patterns in the data were coded and grouped into themes. Research revealed that overall quality of life experiences is good. Despite various health problems, most participants could perform their daily activities independently. Healthcare systems were expensive but easily feasible. Most participants felt wealthier and were satisfied with the community development and government allowances. Social relationships were complicated for some participants, but most received the support they needed. They are accepting the changes positively. Community parks, temples, meditation, and spirituality played an essential role in their everyday life. They want to learn to read, write, and use mobile phones.
