Successful Leisure in Independent Living Communities: Understanding Older Adults' Motivations to ...
summary
Twenty-four in-depth interviews and posed photos across four independent living communities use a grounded‑theory analysis to show societal narratives and environmental logistics shape leisure choices: participants often pursue activities to maintain cognitive and physical health (a clear use-it-or-lose-it pattern), list watching TV as common companionship, and identify loss of driving and shuttle limits as the single biggest barrier. Design takeaways include treating background TV as company, supporting transportation options, and addressing stigma.
