      ab: The impact of purposeful activity on quality of life for the residents of a long-term care facility was studied through the examination of the Elders Drum Project. This project is a model occupational therapy program that uses drumming and related activities to achieve therapeutic goals for its' participants. Semi-structured interviews and observations were used to collect data from five program participants. The transcribed interviews and field notes were qualitatively analyzed according to emerging themes. Results indicated that the Elders Drum Project positively impacted each participant's quality of life as reflected in self-concept, health status, life satisfaction, and altruism. Participants' strengths were also enhanced through self-directed engagement in purposeful activity; thereby, contributing to quality of life.
