| Annotation | Data from a longitudinal study of 33 older adults in an up-state New York county show that poor housing "fit" increases the likelihood that older adults are currently considering a move, as does lower residential satisfaction. Those adults who said only that they "might consider moving" focused on health transitions that might signal a need for a new housing situation. Residential satisfaction predicts actual moves, even when controlling for moving plans. Older adults may be "pushed" to make a move by a crisis, but those planning moves tend to be "pulled" into housing arrangements with desirable features. (RH). |
