Study Shows Older Adults Are Less Vulnerable
After Moving into Senior Housing
Older adults have heightened frailty or vulnerability to illness and mobility challenges prior to, and just after, entering a senior housing and care property, but that quickly levels off and ultimately declines after move-in, according to research by NORC at the University of Chicago, funded through a grant from NIC. This decrease in vulnerability once older adults transition to senior housing presents tremendous opportunities for the industry.
