Psychological well-being of elderly board and care home residents

KH Namazi, JK Eckert, E Kahana and SM Lyon

This paper examines the effect of several social and physical environmental features of small unregulated board and care homes on the psychological well-being of elderly residents. Data were collected from operators (N = 177) and residents (N = 285) of board and care homes in five counties in Ohio. The social aspects of the environment such as peer relationships had a more significant impact on resident's psychological well-being than aspects of the physical environment.
