N2  - This research paper delves into the Quality of Life (QOL) of the elderly residing in retirement homes, focusing on the transition from urban to rural living.. Through a phenomenological approach, the study explores the lived experiences of retirees, considering physical health, social connections, daily activities and satisfaction with their living environment. The research addresses a significant gap in the literature by examining the impact of countryside living on elderly well-being in Luzon, Philippines. Ethical considerations, cultural sensitivity and researcher competence are integral to the study’s framework ensuring the rights and dignity of participants. The findings underscored the importance of tailored interventions and policies to enhance the overall OL for elderly populations in rural settings. This study provided valuable insights for healthcare professionals and policymakers working with elderly individuals in retirement homes, emphasizing the need for comprehensive strategies to promote well-being and QOL in this specific living environment
