An exceptional amount of attention is often given towards advancing in the workforce, family life, and social life and not enough attention is given towards the transition into retirement. Often those who retire do not know what to do in the retirement phase.

 The transition into retirement interrupts daily routines, social relationships, roles, self-esteem, and use of time. Retirement is an occupational transition in life where an individual seeks to replace participation in the paid workforce with involvement in other meaningful activities. Through involvement with occupational therapy services an individual transitioning into retirement may be able to develop a new leisure interest or identify with a new role to satisfy the basic human needs.
