This study aimed to unpack characteristics of interstate and intrastate moves undertaken by elderly amenity migrants. The authors examined these moves in the context of Litwak and Longino's life-course typology of migration.
In an 11-year longitudinal study, the authors examined the first move made by respondents out of a large Florida retirement community where no services were offered. Data from premove and postmove in-person interviews were used.
This article found five distinct post-amenity move types, reflecting different degrees of dependency: (a) serial amenity moves, (b) positioning moves, (c) informal assistance moves, (d) formal assistance moves, and (e) dependency moves.
Findings of this study not only support Litwak and Longino's migration typology but also elaborate and extend it. Only some older adults (20.4%) make counterstream assistance moves. Additional move types reflect new options for late-life migration to enhance person- environment fit.
本研究旨在剖析老年享受设施移民进行州际和州内迁移的特征。作者在 Litwak 和 Longino 的迁移生命周期类型学的背景下研究了这些迁移。
在一项为期 11 年的纵向研究中，作者研究了受访者离开一个没有提供任何服务的大型佛罗里达退休社区的首次迁移。使用了迁移前和迁移后面对面访谈的数据。
本文发现了五种不同的享受设施后迁移类型，反映了不同程度的依赖程度：（a）连续享受设施迁移，（b）定位迁移，（c）非正式援助迁移，（d）正式援助迁移，和（e）依赖迁移。
本研究的结果不仅支持了 Litwak 和 Longino 的迁移类型学，而且还对其进行了阐述和扩展。只有一些老年人（20.4%）进行了逆向援助迁移。其他迁移类型反映了晚年迁移以增强人与环境适配的新选择。
