Pathways to Life Quality Project

The Pathways to Life Quality study was conducted from 1995 to 2003 to promote understanding of patterns of housing choices and residential transitions over the life course. In the fall of 1995 Professor John A. Krout of Ithaca College and Professor Phyllis Moen of Cornell University recognized a unique research opportunity to survey individuals planning to move into a new continuing care retirement community (CRCC). In the summer of 1997 these people were surveyed again, about a year and a half after their move to the CCRC. In the fall of 1997, Professors Krout and Moen developed a more elaborate research design and began collecting data from almost 800 more individuals ages 60 and over living in a variety of different housing arrangements. Pathways staff and students interviewed study participants every two years. To read more about the study and it's results, see the Pathways to Life Quality website at:
