Abstract	Background: The lifespan of women with intellectual disability (ID) has been steadily increasing, bringing new and unique challenges to these individuals and those who support them. Understanding these issues will help to improve support services for this population. Methods: Using inclusive research methods, 15 older women with ID were interviewed about their wellbeing and their views on growing older. Results: Interview data were analysed using the grounded theory approach. The core phenomenon identified through data analysis was "changes in life." Conclusion: The women reported a growing loss of independence as well as changes in their health and activities. Analyses revealed factors important for wellbeing as well as different coping strategies used by the women to deal with the age-related changes in their lives. (As Provided).
