Quality of life (QoL) in the face of declining health, mobility, and social losses is a central issue for older adults. This study examined changes in QoL over time for older adults residing in independent senior housing within continuing care retirement communities (CCRCs) and estimated how residents’ social engagement during their first year influenced QoL over the next 4 years.
