| Annotation | Researchers interviewed 22 residents from 4 different assisted living facilities in Georgia, US using the Canadian Occupational Performance Measure (COPM), a tool assessing concerns with valued life activities. Most common concerns were lack of desired active recreation, mobility and passive recreation. Residents attributed identified concerns to physical health conditions and vision, along with facility features. Differing styles of life acceptance, degree to which residents felt like the facility was home, and which activity options were meaningful versus just "keeping busy" were themes that emerged.
