Purpose: AIn recent years, the rapid progress of aging and the increase in the elderly people withdementia is becoming a big social issue. Therefore, this paper studies the development of therapeuticenvironmental rating scales for the elderly people with dementia in korean nursing homes. Methods: We identify the development process and structure of TESS-NH and understand the detailsof its nature and features. Then, based on the detailed items, we provide major scale factorswhich do influence on therapeutic environmental rating scales using PCA. Results: In the results,TESS, in the case of the initial stage of TESS-NH, has an advantage to evaluate on physical environmentsfor a short period of time. TESS-2 + sets a large rage of activities of the elderly people withdementia, and tries to evaluate ongoing cares. TESS-NH has a complete set of well-thought-out assessmentfeatures for improving quality of care (Quality of Care) On the other hand, the main factorsaffecting the therapeutic environmental rating scales in nursing homes are “a consideration forfacility management (Care for facilities' maintenance)", "a consideration for spatial cognition (Carefor spatial cognition) ", and "a consideration for the safety (Care for safety)". Implications: In thefuture, to develop the therapeutic environmental rating scales on Korea's dementia nursing home,we should actively consider cares of spaces and facility utilization which the residents (the elderlypeople with dementia) are more secure and comfortable.
