Caregivers who provide nursing-care visits to the elderly learn to notice changes in the physical and mental functions of residents by looking for signs of disorder in living spaces and changes in the orderliness of living spaces. In this research, to understand what draws caregiver attention and how they evaluate them, 15 caregivers are interviewed and asked to evaluate images of 33 living spaces.
