Navigating the Silver Seas of Ageing: A Phenomenological Study on Life Course Impacts on Older Adults in Senior Living Facilities
This study examined the lived experiences of older adults in senior living facilities, focusing on the impact of their life course on their well-being. In-depth, semi-structured, one-on-one interviews were used to collect data from 28 older adults from six senior living facilities, and the results were thoroughly analysed. Using Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology and the modified Stevick–Colaizzi–Keen analytical method, five main themes emerged: the influence of the life course on later life, linked lives, attachment through the life course, cultivation of memories and longing for intergenerational relationships. The findings indicated that life course experiences impacted later life in senior living facilities differently for each participant. While some developed meaningful experiences and supportive connections that cushioned the feelings of loss and loneliness, others struggled with a sense of familiarity, identity and security. The findings extend existing knowledge and provide valuable implications for academics, senior living facilitators, government policy, hospitality and healthcare providers.
期刊介绍:
Millennial Asia: An International Journal of Asian Studies is a multidisciplinary, refereed biannual journal of the Association of Asia Scholars (AAS)–an association of the alumni of the Asian Scholarship Foundation (ASF). It aims to encourage multifaceted, multidisciplinary and interdisciplinary research on Asia, in order to understand its fast changing context as a growth pole of global economy. By providing a forum for Asian scholars situated globally, it promotes dialogue between the global academic community, civil society and policy makers on Asian issues. The journal examines Asia on a regional and comparative basis, emphasizing patterns and tendencies that go beyond national borders and are globally relevant. Modern and contemporary Asia has witnessed dynamic transformations in cultures, societies, economies and political institutions, among others. It confronts issues of collective identity formation, ecological crisis, rapid economic change and resurgence of religion and communal identifies while embracing globalization. An analysis of past experiences can help produce a deeper understanding of contemporary change. In particular, the journal is interested in locating contemporary changes within a historical perspective, through the use of interdisciplinary and multidisciplinary approaches. This way, it hopes to promote comparative studies involving Asia’s various regions. The journal brings out both thematic and general issues and the thrust areas are: Asian integration, Asian economies, sociology, culture, politics, governance, security, development issues, arts and literature and any other such issue as the editorial board may deem fit. The core fields include development encompassing agriculture, industry, regional trade, social sectors like health and education and development policy across the region and in specific countries in a comparative perspective.
