AB  - The COVID-19 pandemic resulted in social isolation among elderly people with 
      disabilities. Adult daycare (ADC) is an important community care option for 
      socialization among people with disabilities. However, their experiences with ADC 
      remain underexplored. Thus, this study investigated the experiences of 
      community-dwelling disabled elderly with ADC from the perspective of 
      socialization. Four older women from Tokyo with disabilities, availing of one ADC 
      service, were interviewed across two sessions between November 2020 and January 
      2021. The transcribed interviews and field notes were analyzed qualitatively. 
      This yielded eight categories: two pertaining to context ("restricted social 
      interaction outside of ADC", "feeling simultaneously grateful and ashamed of 
      oneself as a recipient of care services"), and six pertaining to experience with 
      ADC ("take a catastrophic defensive posture in situations where one's perception 
      of value is shaken", "express oneself positively to justify one's daily life", 
      "have trouble knowing what to do", "put oneself in a shaded exchange 
      relationship", "examine the value of elderly people in need of care in society", 
      and "savor regular contact with others"). Ensuring the use of ADC as a safe place 
      for interaction while considering pandemic-related needs is important to develop 
      policy and practical responses to restricted socialization during COVID-19.
