Abstract
How older people arrive at a decision to move is described, and some of the correlates of successful adjustment to relocation are identified. Personal interviews were administered to 108 community-based elderly residents (66 years of age and over) living in a retirement apartment near downtown Los Angeles. Findings suggest that while the stress of moving should not be underestimated, neither should the resilience of the older person to participate in a decison that concerns him.Keywords
