Older women relocating to institutional facilities are at risk for negative outcomes such as poorer health, decreased self-esteem, increased sense of social isolation and loneliness, loss of social support, and depression. However, little is known about relocation to congregate living facilities (CLF), the relocation transition process, or factors that contribute to outcomes. The perspectives of 31 women on their relocation experiences to CLF were elicited using a naturalistic approach. The Schumacher & Meleis nursing model of transitions was used to focus the study. Three distinct relocation transition styles emerged: Full Integration (45%), Partial Integration (42%), and Minimal Integration (13%). By understanding the characteristics and risk factors of relocation, unhealthy outcomes can be minimized and healthy outcomes promoted
