Quality care is a very important aspect in client care. Client satisfaction can serve as an outcome indicator of the quality of nursing care received. A direct home care finds people at their natural setting and the care given is different but at health centres the care given is in a different atmosphere. Hence this study was done to compare the nursing care given at various settings in the community. The study used a Mixed Method approach with a Concurrent Embedded design. 30 women were selected by stratified sampling from the village Karuppayurani. The tool comprised of 20 questions with 3 point scale with high, moderate and low as criteria was administered. The Donabedian model was used to describe the satisfaction. The study reveals that there is a significant difference in the care given at home and center, the Wilcoxon Signed Ranks Test value -2.399 is significant at p=0.016.Thematic Analysis was done which projected the following themes: Time and distance. Both results were expressive of each other. This study made an attempt to identify the client’s satisfaction of care with the help of utilization of service and the satisfaction of care regarding community based care facilities in a selected rural area.
