Background: In Japan, due to the COVID-19 pandemic, various behavioral restrictions
were implemented from March 2020, resulting in an increased number of elderly
people with reduced participation in care and rehabilitation. As a result, the
decline in motor and cognitive functions became more pronounced. Purpose: The
study examined how activities combining passive horticultural therapy, which is
always introduced, with active functional recovery training, which is used in
the functional recovery training of patients with hemiplegia, influence the
behavior of elder people using the facility. Methods: 36 elder people with care need 1 or 2 who regularly used the day-care facilities after the pandemic ended and who agreed to participate in the study
was included. The assessment data were every three months from December 2021 to
December 2023 after the COVID-19 pandemic, the MMSE and Moca-J, TMIG-Index, and GDS15. AI-based text mining was
used to compare changes in visit reports before and after the
introduction of the Posture Chart and Red Code, and the relationship between
the language used. Results: The results of MMSE
and Moca-J were both significantly higher in Group B and C than in Group A.
TIMG assessment, was significantly higher in Group B and C than in
