Introduction: The satisfaction and quality of life in nursing homes are influenced by numerous factors, among which physical and social activities play an important role. Objective: The objective of the research is to determine the connection between physical and social activity and life satisfaction at nursing home “Cvjetni dom” Šibenik. Subjects and methods: Residents of the nursing home regardless of their mobility level were included. The Physical Activity Scale for the Elderly (PASE) was used to assess physical activity. The Social Engagement and Activities Questionnaire (SEAQ) was used to assess social activity. A questionnaire created by Lovreković and Leutar for carrying out research on the topic "Quality of life of the elderly placed in retirement homes" was used to assess nursing home life satisfaction. The software package STATISTICA 11.0 and SPSS 26.1 was used for statistical data processing. Results: Respondents in the nursing home show greater social than physical activity, and overall life satisfaction is high. Although small, there is a statistically significant positive correlation between the level of social activities and the respondents' life satisfaction (F1, 99=3,326; p<0,001). The level of physical activity is positively and statistically significantly related to the respondent's life satisfaction (F1, 99=31.475; p<0.001). The level of both social and physical activity is significantly statistically related to the respondents' life satisfaction (F1, 99=16.174; p<0.001). Social and physical activity, and overall life satisfaction are statistically significant affected by respondents’ mobility. Conclusion: A higher level of social and physical activities is related to greater respondent’s life satisfaction in the nursing home.
