“…This study also measured neighborhood satisfaction through these items. Finally, many studies have shown that demographic variables such as sex, age, monthly household income, and housing tenure affect QoL [4,6,19]. Therefore, this study also input these variables as control variables.…”

“…It has also been proven that homeowners have a higher QoL than renters do [17]. However, in addition to economic factors, the residential environments that residents encounter everyday have also been found to significantly affect QoL [18,19]. Specifically, most people primarily satisfy their needs and interests within their immediate residential areas [20][21][22]; thus, it could be surmised that residential environments also impact QoL.…”

This study examined the relationship between physical environment satisfaction, neighborhood satisfaction, and quality of life (QoL) in Gyeonggi, Korea. As previous QoL studies have rarely dealt with residential environments or examined the interactions between the physical and social factors in residential environments, to close these knowledge gaps, this study took physical and social environment satisfaction factors as relevant influences on QoL. This study also verified the moderating effect of neighborhood satisfaction on QoL through physical environment satisfaction. This study analyzed a Quality of Life Survey that was conducted in Gyeonggi, Korea. The total number of samples in the survey was 20,000, covering all 31 districts in Gyeonggi Province. In addition, multistage stratified sampling based on the number of household members and housing types was applied to the sample design. This increases the representation of the data. As a result, it was found that higher satisfaction with the physical and neighborhood factors positively affected QoL, with satisfaction with the facilities having the most obvious effect. Neighborhood satisfaction was found to have a moderating effect between safety satisfaction and QoL. Many developing countries have tended to pursue quantitative growth with a focus on economic aspects, which has undermined overall urban sustainability. However, recent urban management has also emphasized qualitative growth, such as resident QoL, as being just as important for urban sustainability. Therefore, this study’s results have important policy implications for qualitative urban growth.

“…Satisfaction with life shares a common denominator with subjective well-being, psychological well-being and quality of life (Li et al , 2015; McAuley et al , 2000; Street et al , 2007; Trompetter et al , 2011). A higher level of satisfaction with life may trigger better health outcomes and quality of life (Moreno-Jiménez et al , 2017; Sirgy, 2012). A lower level of satisfaction with life may trigger depression and lower health outcomes (Lim et al , 2016; Lue et al , 2010).…”

Purpose Resident satisfaction is a catalyst for continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) to enhance their competitiveness in the expanding senior living market. CCRC attributes play an imperative role in resident satisfaction when older adults reside in these communities. The purpose of this study was to identify the attributes that affect CCRC resident satisfaction and quantify their relative levels of importance. In addition, the impact of resident satisfaction on word of mouth (WOM) and satisfaction with life was examined. Design/methodology/approach The proposed hypotheses were tested by performing structural equation modeling on the data collected from 332 CCRC residents throughout the USA. Findings The study results revealed that all 10 of the CCRC attributes identified in this study significantly influenced resident satisfaction. Sociopsychological factors had the strongest influence on resident satisfaction, followed by cost and value, medical services, availability of activities, food and beverage services, design, rooms, management and staff, location, and spiritual environment. The study results further indicated that resident satisfaction had a positive impact on WOM and satisfaction with life. Practical implications This study provides significant practical implications for CCRC owners and operators to help them better identify the types of CCRC attributes and their relative levels of importance for resident satisfaction. Originality/value This study is one of the first comprehensive studies to identify CCRC attributes associated with resident satisfaction and examine the impact of resident satisfaction on satisfaction with life within the senior living field.
