THE AGE WELL STUDY REPORT
YEAR 5 FINDINGS
This in-depth report from the final year of a five-year longitudinal study investigates factors in the health and wellness of Life Plan Community residents, how those factors have changed over five years, and a comparison with demographically similar older adults in the community at large. Findings reveal that overall, residents continue to report significantly better health than their community-dwelling counterparts. The study is based on responses from 1,729 residents from 122 Life Plan Communities around the United States.
