Using data from the National Health and Aging Trends Study (2011-2015, N = 3,549), mixed-effects regression analyses examined the associations between relocation, neighborhood characteristics, and psychological well-being across different settings: within-community relocation, relocation from community to non-nursing facilities, and relocation from community to nursing homes. Non-movers and within-community movers did not differ significantly in psychological well-being, suggesting that within-community relocation may support aging in the right place. However, within-community movers reported significantly lower psychological well-being when relocating to neighborhoods with higher physical disorder. Interestingly, while transitioning to a nursing home is generally associated with lower psychological well-being, low social cohesion significantly attenuated this negative association, suggesting a compensatory role of nursing homes in less cohesive environments.

We observed the levels and trajectories of depressive symptoms before, during, and after spousal loss using the first seven waves of the survey from 1987 to 2006. The results showed a modest increase in symptoms prior to loss and a significant spike at bereavement, with no subsequent decline.

Results indicate that a stronger social network may buffer negative effects of non-employment on episodic memory for women, whereas for men, benefits are primarily indicated at lower social network strength levels.
