This research examined the importance of social integration, compared with self-rated health and feelings about entry and residence in an institution, for the subjective well-being of aged in long-term care settings. Additionally, various measures of social integration were investigated and several appeared as more salient predictors of resident morale, life satisfaction, and satisfaction with treatment. These measures, which were directed to the nature rather than the quantity of social interaction, included being visited by a preferred family member or friend, receiving assistance from others, giving assistance to others, and participating in organized social activities.
