Abstract:
Notwithstanding the increasing interest of gerontologists in the voluntary relocation of the aged, the phenomenon of immigration to Israel by English-speaking elderly has received scant empirical attention. Using a person-environment congruence framework within which to study dimensions of adaptation, the author reports on, and discusses the meaning of data collected from 223 older English-speaking relocaters to Israel. A social work practice implication with respect to preparing elderly for their move is noted.
