The author discusses the migration of older people, both within the UK, and transnationally. She then explores the maintenance or development of relationships between people and places - both physical and social. There is then a brief discussion about the importance of addressing some of the physical, social and psychological needs of older people who have severed an attachment to place by identifying the most important aspects of a community that they are leaving.
