As the aging process occurs correspondingly decline of cognitive function also occurs. This affects the person's quality of life. In old age there are many factors that affect the quality of life such as physical, intellectual, social, and environmental factors, and cognitive impairment is one of the main factors. Considering the susceptibility of the elderly people and the limited studies on cognitive function and quality of life among elderly people living in residential care homes in India lead to the need of this study. This study aims to explore the correlation between cognitive function and quality of life among elderly people living in residential care homes, furthermore, exploring this relationship can help in identifying potential areas of support and intervention to improve the overall well-being of elderly people. A convenient sampling was used in this study. The data were collected offline using Montreal Cognitive Assessment (MoCA) and WHOQOL-BREF scale. There was a positive correlation (p < 0.05) between MoCA scale scoring and WHOQOL-BREF scoring. This makes it clear that cognitive function is significantly and directly related to quality of life of elderly people living in residential care homes.
