REASONS FOR RELOCATING TO ASSISTED LIVING: THE PUSH, THE PULL, AND DECISIONAL CONTROL
Abstract
Using the push-pull framework, this study describes reasons for relocation and self-reported decisional control in the move to assisted living (AL). A sample of 202 residents of 21 ALs responded to a semi-structured questionnaire regarding their relocation. Participants most commonly relocated from a private local residence (n = 80, 40%), hospital/rehab facility (n = 27, 13%), or private long-distance residence (n = 24, 12%). The most frequently reported pull reasons to relocate to an AL were: “security and safety” (n = 46), “closer to family or friends” (n = 43), and “appearance of the facility” (n = 40). The most frequently reported push reasons to relocate from a previous residence were: “health problems” (n = 94), “others planned the move” (n = 87), and “fear of an accident” (n = 53). On average, participants who moved from other ALs reported the most decisional control in the move (M = 3.94, SD = 1.47), while participants from hospitals/rehab facilities reported the lowest control (M = 2.48, SD = 1.42). On average, participants who relocated from other ALs reported the most pull factors (M = 2.67, SD = 1.15), while participants from independent living communities reported the most push factors (M = 2.53, SD = 1.46). Results suggest that current residents commonly cite safety as both a push and pull reason for relocating to their AL. In addition, reasons for relocation and decisional control varied based on previous residence, which may be useful for identifying AL residents at risk for relocation stress.

Negotiating belongings : stories of forced migration of Dinka women from South Sudan
\"Belonging is an issue that affects us all, but for those who have been displaced, unsettled or made ?homeless? by the increased movements associated with the contemporary globalising era, belonging is under constant challenge. Migration throws into question not only the belongings of those who physically migrate, but also, particularly in a postcolonial context, the belongings of those who are indigenous to and ?settlers? in countries of migration, subsequent generations born to migrants, and those who are left behind in countries of origin. 'Negotiating Belongings' utilises narrative, ethnographic and autoethnographic approaches to explore the negotiations for belonging for six women from Dinka communities originating in southern Sudan. It explores belonging, particularly in relation to migration, through a consideration of belonging to nation-states, ethnic groups, community, family and kin. In exploring how the journeys towards desired belongings are haunted by various social processes such as colonisation, power, ?race? and gender, the author argues that negotiating belonging is a continual movement between being and becoming. The research utilises and demands different ways of listening to and really hearing the narratives of the women as embedded within non-Western epistemologies and ontologies. Through this it develops an understanding of the relational ontology, cieng, that governs the ways in which the women exist in the world. The women?s narratives alongside the author?s experience within the Dinka community provide particular ways to interrogate the intersections of being and becoming on the haunted journey to belonging. The relational ontology of cieng provides an additional way of understanding belonging, becoming and being as always relational\"-- Page 4 of cover.

Relocation Disputes
Relocation cases are disputes between separated parents which arise when one parent proposes to move to a new geographic location with their child and the other parent objects to the proposal. Relocation disputes are widely recognised as being amongst the most difficult cases facing family courts, and the law governing them is increasingly a cause for debate at both national and international levels. In Relocation Disputes: Law and Practice in England and New Zealand, Rob George looks at the different ways in which the legal systems of England and New Zealand currently deal with relocation cases. Drawing on case law, literature and the views of legal practitioners in the two jurisdictions, Relocation Disputes represents a major contribution to our understanding of the everyday practice of relocation cases. The empirical data reported in this book reveal the practical differences between the English and New Zealand approaches to relocation, along with a detailed analysis of the pros and cons of each system as seen by judges, lawyers and court experts who deal with these cases in practice. This analysis leads to detailed criticisms and lessons that can be learnt, together with practical suggestions about possible reforms of relocation law.
