Evanston, IL (January 14, 2020) – What factors contribute to the health and well-being of Life Plan Community residents? Answers to this question were explored in Year 2 of the landmark, five-year Age Well Study being conducted by Mather Institute and Northwestern University.
The Age Well Study is the only national longitudinal study to evaluate the impact of living in a Life Plan Community on residents’ health and well-being. In its first year, findings from the Age Well Study showed that Life Plan Community residents’ health and wellness compared favorably to that of a demographically similar sample of community-dwelling older adults.
