%X <strong>Background:</strong> <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Previous studies have shown that Hand Care
Treatment, a form of passive horticultural therapy, is effective in preventing
dementia and MCI and reducing the rate of progression. Due to the Covid-19
pandemic, various activity restrictions </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">were </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">implemented in Japan from
March 2020, and the number of elderly people without care and rehabilitation
will the number of elderly people without care and rehabilitation has been
increasing. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Purpose:</span></b> <span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Progression of
cognitive, physical, and mental disability was examined for </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">long-term
horticultural therapy study subjects by level of care required. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Methods:</span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> One subject who had been diagnosed with dementia and was residing in an elderly
care facility and</span></span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"> </span><span style=\"font-family:&quot;\"><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">consented
to a long-term study was selected. In addition to assessments using various
evaluation forms, data recorded from time to time, including changes in care
plans, were analyzed using text mining methods. </span><b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">Results: </span></b><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">This subject
tended to progress slowly from 1 to 2 care needs, but progressed from 3 to 5
care needs over a 2-year period. The results of the assessment chart test
showed that cognitive impairment and IADL de</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">creased
with each increase in the level of care required, but DBD remained the same at
the time of admission, even at 5 years of care required. A com</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">parison of
HCT and aroma intervention with and without aroma intervention </span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\">during the nursing care level 1 showed that the
improvement in physical, mental, and cognitive function was expected to be
higher at the time of intervention. Text-mining inspections have revealed that
during the period of</span><span style=\"font-family:Verdana;\"> nursing care level 1 - 5, active horticultural
therapy techniques, and passive horticultural therapy techniques such as HCT
and brain rejuvenation aromatherapy were found to betweenness centrality with
