Identifying important meaningful occupations of Nursing Home Habitants (NHH) is essential for tailored care. Staff often presume of NHHs' preferences according to stereotypes based on age, gender and autonomy. This study explores NHHs' important occupations and how age, level of autonomy and type of NH influence self-rated occupational performance (OP). Eleven occupational therapists working in nine Nursing homes (NHs) in France used the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure with 40 NHH. Autonomy was measured by the AGGIR Grid.

OP is explained by autonnomy and NH type of NH but not age, underscoring the need for individualized, non-stereotyped support.
