Abstract
Mortality rates for a 1-year period of time were compared for residents who transferred rooms within a long term care facility for reasons other than health (N = 207) and people who did not move (N = 353), controlling for level of competence. Results of a log-linear analysis indicated that mortality rates were higher for moderately competent residents who moved than for non-movers, but mortality rates for movers of high or low competence did not differ from those of non-movers.Keywords
