This qualitative study examined the influence of bridge employment on roles and routines in older adults. The participants included seven older adults, age 55 and above, who had retired from their primary employment and were working in a post-retirement bridge occupation. Participants completed the Occupational Questionnaire which contributed to the development of focus group questions to further discover the experiences of older adult retirees. Participants discussed topics related to their roles and routines as impacted by engagement in bridge employment. Thematic analysis was completed revealing three themes of managing time, exploring options, and planning finances. Member checking and the use of an outside coding expert ensured trustworthiness. Researchers found that the schedules of these older adults were influenced by individual personality and a desire to have less responsibility. Participants expressed interest in making a difference in the world, giving back to the community, remaining active, and using finances for memorable time with family. A limitation of the study was lack of racial and socioeconomic diversity. Findings are relevant for occupational therapy practitioners working with older adults who are transitioning to full retirement.
