Who is studied
The study population consists of a cohort of older adults who are currently enrolled in the longitudinal study, R01AG058777. Older adults as well as their caregivers, where appropriate, are being followed over time to assess decision-making and planning related to aging in place and potential transitions to long-term care. The cohort includes individuals with varying levels of cognitive function, health status, chronic conditions, and social support, as well as diverse living environments (e.g., rural and urban settings, different types of housing). Participants will continue to be followed prospectively.
