Abstract
The purpose of this study was to understand how residents perceived spirituality and religion as a coping strategy when attempting to manage stressful housing and health concerns. This article presents findings from a qualitative study of 16 older adults residing in extended-stay hotels. Older adults were engaged in in-depth interviews to identify stressful environmental conditions in hotels and resident strategies for coping. Narrative analysis identified residents’ faith-based rationales for health/housing outcomes and coping strategies across a temporal dimension.
