Using data from the 1984 and 1986 waves of the Longitudinal Study of Aging produced by the National Center for Health Statistics, the authors examined the probability of geographic mobility that is associated with declining levels of instrumental disabilities, while controlling for instrumental interpersonal resources and economic resources. This research concerning health and geographic mobility supports the view that instrumental disabilities do put pressure on older persons to change their residence but that the availability of family caregiving is a major buffer to moving. Family income, however, has no independent effect on mobility in the face of declining functional health. These findings provide support for the Litwak-Longino model of elderly migration
