Attitudes toward aging and retirement homes before and after entry into a retirement home

Seifert, Alexander; Schelling, Hans Rudolf (2018). Attitudes toward aging and retirement homes before and after entry into a retirement home. Journal of Housing For the Elderly, 32(1):12-25.

Abstract

The change of one's habitual living conditions in favor of institutionalized living in a retirement home can be a stressful event. Therefore, the question arises: How does entry into a retirement home affect attitudes toward one's life and aging and toward retirement homes? In order to answer this question, we used longitudinal data from 53 older individuals who were surveyed before and after entry into a retirement home. The data revealed that attitudes toward one's life and aging changed negatively and attitudes toward retirement homes changed positively; however, there are gains and losses in both attitudes.
