| Annotation | How do potential movers to retirement communities make their decisions to move? This exploratory study uses a US National Institute on Aging (NIA) national study of a sample of 255 retirees who were ageing in place in a city in the upper Midwest, and a sample of 593 retired migrants to a south-eastern community in Florida. Both sets of respondents were asked about: their potential move (or the experience of having moved), and how destinations are chosen; about their attachments to people and places in their lives; and their images of the advantages and disadvantages of living in their current and other locations. Pushes and pulls were found both at the origin and the destination of retirement moves, although satisfaction with current residence was very high in both places. (RH). |
