If it is found, for example, that a service provider is committing a lot of resources to one area of service, but QOL assessment shows that participants' quality of life is not improving in the desired ways, the agency or facility might want to reallocate their resources or change the service. On the other hand, if it is found that an area of life is rarely supported, but needs to be, agencies and facilities might give that area of life more attention. Thus the project and the results it provides, may function as a springboard for offering ideas to service providers regarding ways that they might enhance their services in order to foster quality within the lives of people who use their services. Quality of life is based on common aspects of life for all humans, but it also reflects, from person to person, varying degrees of importance placed on those aspects of life. Quality of life for all people reflects how satisfied they are with aspects of life that are important to them.
People live in environments.
Thus, quality of life results from the interconnection between people and the environments in which they live.
