Abstract

An increasing number of elders will be moving into long-term care facilities in the coming decades. This review identifies a number of factors that predict the degree to which an individual's adjustment to his or her new environment will be successful. In addition, a number of potential interventions are described which may help to alleviate some of the difficulties elders may experience upon relocation.
