This research study examines how low-income elderly individuals attempt to continue to shape their life course after the disruption caused by chronic illness and the relocation to long-term care. Drawing from semi-structured interviews with 11 long-term nursing home residents ranging from 66 to 83 years old, this study explores the perceptions of low-income elderly adults regarding the pathways to nursing home admittance; their experiences of the decision-making process and of transitioning from independent living to nursing home care; and their search for continuity. The narratives of these long term care residents illuminate the lived experience of long-term care relocation as stages of life course disruption, a period of limbo or liminality, and a period of life course reorganization. Moreover, the narratives illuminate how the elderly exert agency in creating forms of autonomy within a context of institutionalization, inherently a situation of dependency. It is concluded that transitioning to a long-term care facility, just like other transitions of the life course, can exacerbate disruptions or facilitate continuity.
