| Annotation | For a variety of reasons, some older people seek alternative accommodation, retirement villages being one option. However, deciding to move is a significant decision, and one that often involves family members. This research investigated the involvement of adult children in their parents' relocation decision. 33 older people aged 65+, living in retirement villages in South East Queensland were interviewed, as were 30 nominated adult children. Whilst adult children play a significant role providing support in the relocation to a retirement village, the decision to move is most likely made independently by the parent. (RH). |
