Intrainstitutional Relocation: Mortality Effects.
Pruchno, Rachel A.; Resch, Nancy L.
Gerontologist, v28 n3 p311-17 Jun 1988
Compared mortality rates for residents who transferred rooms within long-term care facility for reasons other than health (N=207) and for residents who did not move (N=353). Found mortality rates higher for moderately competent residents who moved than for non-movers; mortality rates for movers of high or low competence did not differ from those of non-movers.
