Purpose: The purpose of this study was to explore the meaning and nature of the experience of mentally disabled persons living in group homes.
Methods: Data were collected through individual in-depth interviews with six mentally disabled persons from April to October in 2017. The data were analyzed using hermeneutic phenomenological methodology based on four fundamental existential concepts: that lived space, lived body, lived time, and lived others.
Results: Ten essential themes emerged: lived space-settle down in a strange environment, wish for my independent space in a daily routine; lived body-make a balance between soul and body, lead normal daily life by myself; lived time-rewrite my life; lived others-unapproachable relationship, meet my advocators.
Conclusion: The meaning of living in group homes as mentally disabled persons was ¡®living as an ordinary person¡¯. This information would be useful in providing interventions to enable such people to return to the community.
