Seniors' experiences of congregate housing in Sweden.
A study of older people's experiences of living in congregate housing units in Sweden found three categories of adaptation to this mode of living: good adaptation (found a new home), intermediate adaptation (having no choice), and poor adaptation (remaining grief). Support in daily care must be individual depending on the degree of adaptation.
