full_text_status: public
abstract: This thesis will focus on finding out what are important subjective well-being factors for frail elderly people when they decide on a location of care. As there is already quite some research on physical wellbeing, this thesis will mostly focus on subjective wellbeing. Literature on this topic suggests that the geographical proximity of children and the life-space of a person are important factors when deciding on a location of care  With means of qualitative method, eight elderly people who are either widowed or separated are interviewed by means of in-depth semi-structured interviews. The results suggest that factors that matter for elderly people when deciding on a location of care are: feeling safe (regarding care), a sense of belonging, the roots of a person and the life-space of a person.
