| Annotation | The aim of this research was to investigate the relationship between physical housing features and home modifications to ageing in place or precipitating a housing transition among elderly households. Data was taken from two waves (1998 and 2000) of the US Health and Retirement Survey. Univariate, bivariate, and multivariate analyses were performed. Residing in a multi-family home without a lift was a predictor for housing transition for couple households, while residing in a home with small interior modifications was a predictor for remaining in place for single households. Implications for policy makers, health care providers, housing industry and elderly are discussed. (KJ/RH). |
