Abstract

Formal and informal caregiving, an aspect of the environment of older elderly people, helps differentiate their residential mobility decisions from those of younger people. A recently proposed developmental model of elderly mobility that focuses on caregiving and health is evaluated through the literature and by a survey of recently hospitalized individuals over 75 years old. The model is expanded to include an anticipatory stage of mobility during which older Americans consciously try to organize their environments.
