Presents the findings of a detailed interview study looking at the attitudes of older home owners to their property. Finds that the interviewees see the independence and financial aspects of home ownership as both beneficial and burdensome. Individual circumstances, such as divorce, disability or widowhood influenced their views about moving home and about residential care.
