Are you planning to move in the next two years? Are you between 70 and 90?
Dr. Kathy Bell, our March 13th presenter, needs volunteers for a study named, “Finding the Key to Positivity for Elders in Home Transition.”
Dr. Bell’s project uses an arts-based methodology to explore how individuals in their 70s and 80s can be supported in the process of downsizing their living space and possessions to a potential ideal future environment. Related questions include how elders “idealize” their future homes, and the emotional support needed to help them create an ideal living environment. This further research is based on the work of Lindley and Wallace (2015) and will explore several aspects of home transition.
The results will be reported to participants and used in a resource book for older adults.
