First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at how older adults, including those with Alzheimer's or mild cognitive impairment, make decisions about where to live as they age. Researchers followed 293 participants to understand what factors—like memory, health knowledge, and support from family—influence their long-term care plans. The goal was to learn more about the decision-making process, not to test a treatment.
