What Promotes and What Limits Physical Activity in Assisted Living Facilities? A Study of the Physical Environment’s Design and Significance
The design of assisted living facilities is an issue that has engaged architects and contractors since they began building the first residential homes. Previous research has shown that participation in everyday activities promotes wellbeing in older people. Many assisted living facilities have locked units that limit the individual's ability to move freely. Our interest is directed towards older people's opportunities to be physically active in a…
Housing plans of the oldest: Ageing in semi-rural areas in Sweden
A number of smaller municipalities have decreasing population rates. Generally, the young move out, increasing the proportion of older people. To increase our understanding of the living conditions of an ageing population in small municipalities, a postal survey was conducted in three small, semi-rural municipalities in southern Sweden. In the survey the respondents answered questions about their living situation and their housing plans. The aim …
Patterns of changing residential preferences during late adulthood
Earlier research on residential mobility has demonstrated a tendency for the young old of the 55+ population to prefer peripheral locations, whereas older age groups choose central locations. Here, we present survey results indicating that such late-adulthood differences in preferences are supported by age-related shifts corresponding to differences in housing preferences expressed by individuals in peripheral as well as central locations in Swed…
Changing Preferences with Ageing – Housing Choices and Housing Plans of Older People
Planning for the housing situation of an ageing population is one of the challenges of many countries. To increase our understanding of the needs of the ageing population, a nationwide survey stratified on age and municipality type was conducted. Research questions referred to the current housing situation and plans. The aim was to investigate how preferences, location, and/or the type of housing preferred changes with age and if they are housing…
Changing locations: Central or peripheral moves of seniors
Mobility in the transition to retirement – the intertwining of transportation and everyday projects
Residential Mobility Patterns of Elderly—Leaving the House for an Apartment
One hypothesis is that, in Sweden, the elderly today are more willing to change residence to accommodate for changing lifestyles and poorer health than in earlier generations. If so, the elderly will change their type of tenure from owner occupation to tenant co-operative or rental housing, which includes more services for residents. The aim of this study is to discover if elderly people move to apartments after leaving single-family housing that…
Changing residential mobility rates of older people in Sweden
The lifestyle of the baby boomers as retirees has been assumed to differ from older cohorts due to them being financially more stable and having grown up during the welfare state expansion. Many baby boomers live in large houses with gardens that require maintenance and labour. Recent studies have indicated that a growing share of those born in the 1940s in Sweden express a wish to change residence at retirement or in old age. A need to verify su…
Housing Careers in a Changing Welfare State – A Swedish Cohort Study
In this study the housing careers of individuals are related to the development of the Swedish welfare state and its effects on the housing market. The aim of the study was to investigate if the value placed on housing standard, size, tenure and location has changed over time as the welfare state has developed. Twelve individuals in four cohorts born in 1925, 1942, 1955 and 1970 were interviewed. The most evident differences relate to the standar…
The first years as independent actors in the housing market: Young households in a Swedish municipality
Housing Careers: Immigrants in Local Swedish Housing Markets
Immigration to Sweden has changed character between the 1960s and today. Early immigration occurred as a response to labour market need whereas immigrants arriving during the last decade have had difficulties entering the labour market. The aim of this study is to analyse the housing careers of different immigrant groups within different local housing markets. The housing careers of immigrant groups are then compared and related to the housing ca…
