| Annotation | Reports on the analysis of data collected in a study looking at older people moving into nursing and residential homes. Using life history methodology, participants are interviewed before and after arrival at homes, to determine the process of adapting to their new environment. The two themes in the title are relevant to the way in which new residents can be introduced to homes, and the way in which social skills of older people are viewed. |
