Abstract
As the older adult population grows, the rate of relocation from one home to another will also increase. To promote planning for relocation to a new home and adjustment to this stressful life event, pre-relocation and post-relocation risks need to be assessed and interventions designed to facilitate relocation decision making and adjustment. The evidence-based guideline by Hertz et al. (2005) provides detailed tools and recommendations for management of pre-relocation and post-relocation processes with cognitively intact older adults by nurses and other health care providers in community-based care, long term care, and acute care settings.
