Living-Apart-Together (LAT) Relationships
What is LAT?
LAT is an acronym for Living-Apart-Together, describing a monogamous relationship where partners are fully committed to one another but choose to live in separate homes.
We are currently looking to interview individuals 60 years of age or older who are in an LAT relationship and are currently providing care to their ill or physically dependent partner who may be suffering from a chronic condition or terminal illness, or is recovering from a short term illness or disability (e.g., post-surgical care). We are interested in talking with LAT partners who are providing care at any level, including care that is very basic (providing transportation to and from doctor's appointments; errand running; light housekeeping) to highly intensive personal care (e.g., bathing, dressing, feeding, etc.). Interviews will last approx. 45 minutes to 1 hour. All participants will be entered into a raffle to win $50.00.
