Abstract: As the population of the United States rapidly grays, the plight of older people living in assisted living situations is of growing concern to health and mental health care teams, as well as the families of the individuals residing in these living environments. This large group of residents, past the stage of living in their own homes, yet not in need of skilled care, is at risk for low satisfaction with life, depression, and hopelessness. Due to the potentially positive roles of hope and spirituality in lowering depression levels and raising life satisfaction ratings, the current study was conducted in order to empirically examine the relationship among these variables for senior adults in assisted living facilities. Results reveal that life satisfaction correlated positively with hope and spirituality, and negatively with depression. Life satisfaction did not correlate significantly with indicators of poor health as expected, however, the correlation did approach significance. Additionally, depression was found to be significantly negatively correlated with spirituality and hope. (Contains 27 references.) (Author/GCP)
