“…It could be that the amount of ET in use is a variable capturing a change process that is more uniform in older adults with cognitive declineand in older adults in general (Larsson Ranada & Hagberg, 2014) than does perceived ability in ET use. Future research, preferably including "amount of ETs in use" as a variable in pattern analyses, is needed to answer this question.…”

“…If so, will relocation actually take place? Contrary to previous moves in life, residential mobility in very old age is irreversible as most moves take place as a result of declining health, to a smaller dwelling that entails a concurrent disbandment of the home (Ekerdt et al 2004;Larsson Ranada and Hagberg 2014). To that extent a move in old age means looking back rather than forward, and from a residential mobility perspective can be considered a turning point.…”

A number of smaller municipalities have decreasing population rates. Generally, the young move out, increasing the proportion of older people. To increase our understanding of the living conditions of an ageing population in small municipalities, a postal survey was conducted in three small, semi-rural municipalities in southern Sweden. In the survey the respondents answered questions about their living situation and their housing plans. The aim of this study was to investigate the housing situation and housing plans of the very old in semi-rural areas and research questions analysed for this study concerned the current housing situation and plans for future housing. A total of 1386 surveys were sent out in March 2014, to all inhabitants aged 80 years or more, residing in the ordinary housing market in the three municipalities, the response rate was 60%. The results show that most of the respondents were firmly rooted in the area as most of them had lived in the municipality for more than 20 years and 60% had lived in their current dwelling for more than 20 years. Ageing in place was the dominating plan, although one quarter of the respondents answered that they did not know what would happen in the future. Those who planned to move wanted to move to housing that required less maintenance and to a more central location. Residential mobility is at play also in old age as 27% of the respondents had moved at some point during the last 10 years, i.e., after the age of 70.

“…Still, downsizing may occur without moving from one place to another. It can be a process of sorting out objects as a preparation for the end of life (Larsson Ranada & Hagberg 2014). Even so, less is known about the opposite phenomenon: older people's increasing amount of objects such as assistive technology and medical items connected to old age.…”

Th e analysis focuses on how to understand the process that occurs when older people are faced with new objects associated with a certain age and with certain health conditions, how the medical materiality of old age is accepted, internalized, questioned or resisted, and how these medical objects fi t in with everyday life.are associated with old age, for example hearing aids and walking frames.Even if ageing proceeds throughout life, the main group to be associated with the process of ageing is older people. Furthermore, old age and older individuals represent constructions that are regarded as diff erent and deviating in comparison with younger people.
