Abstract Geriatric long-term care public hospitals provide public healthcare service to beneficiaries of medical care benefits, especially elderly people. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the service focused healing environment of the multi-patient room in the geriatric long-term care public hospital. For the study, we conducted three steps. First, we identified a checklist of evaluation criteria through literature review. Second, designers, researchers, and nurses from the geriatric long-term care public hospital reviewed checklist. Third, we evaluated a multi-patient room in the geriatric long-term care public hospital. Findings from this study are as follows; 1) we categorized four factors for evaluating multi-patient room in geriatric long-term care public hospital (safety, livability, amenity, service support), 2) we found safety factors and amenity factors which were legislated by law were evaluated good condition, however, livability factors and service support were evaluated general or bad condition. Thus, it is necessary to provide service about the livability factors, service support.
