A Study of the Housing Transition of Residents of Private nursing care homes

Considerations from the Housing History of Residents of Nursing facility Located in Kobe

Abstract

This study investigated Residential History of Residents of Private nursing care homes. The results showed that the trend by number of moves and housing type was toward owned homes from an early stage, with some moving from owned home to owned home. The greater the number of moves, the more likely respondents were to choose condominiums over detached house. As for the place of residence, the parents' home was found to be a major pull factor. It is thought that when choosing a place to live, respondents compare conditions such as convenience with their familiar family home as a standard.
