Residential Choices and Experiences of Older Adults
Springer Publishing Co Inc (Verlag)
978-0-8261-1954-4 (ISBN)
Based on the Pathways to Life Quality longitudinal research study, this book explores the ways in which older adults' residential choices impact their health and well-being. The study examines the factors associated with life quality for persons living on their own in the local community, as well as those in various housing arrangements such as a continuing care retirement facility, adult home, income-subsidized housing, and senior apartments. Topics include plans and adjustment to moving; role identities; social relationships, participation, and integration; health and activity patterns; and coping with life events.
John A. Krout, PhD, is Professor of Gerontology and Director of the Gerontology Institute at Ithaca College. Elaine Wethington, PhD, is Associate Professor and Director of Undergraduate Studies for the Department of Human Development at Cornell University and is Co-Director of the Cornell Institute for Translational Research on Aging.
