Centro de Documentación de Fundación MAPFRE - Moving residence in later life : actively shaping place and wellbeing

Notas: Sumario: Policy discourse favours the idea of ageing in place but many older people move home and into different kinds of residential settings. This article extends the understanding of how relocation can promote as well as diminish older people's well-being. Using relational understandings of place and capabilities (people's freedoms and opportunities to be and to do what they value) we explored well-being across the relocation trajectories of 21 people aged 6591 years living in diverse residential settings in Scotland. We found that a diverse array of capabilities mattered for well-being and that relocation was often motivated by concerns to secure at-risk capabilities for valued activities and relationships. Moving residence impacted several other capabilities, in addition to these, both, positively and negatively. We suggest that a capability approach offers a valuable lens for understanding and supporting well-being through behavioural models of late-life relocation.Registros relacionados: En: International Journal of Ageing and Later Life (IJAL) . - Los Angeles, CA : Scientific Research Publishing, 2021-2022 = ISSN 1652-8670. - 27/09/2021 Volumen 15 Número 1 - 2021 , p. 127-161Materia / lugar / evento: Personas mayores Residencias Bienestar Escocia Otros autores: Gopinath, Manik
