For older adults, maintaining mobility is a major priority, especially for those with advanced chronic diseases like kidney failure. However, our understanding of the factors affecting mobility in older adults receiving maintenance hemodialysis is limited. Descriptive qualitative study. Using purposive sampling, we recruited 1) persons aged ≥ 60 years receiving maintenance hemodialysis and 2) care partners (≥ 18 years) providing regular support to an older adult receiving hemodialysis. During a single in-person home visit, we assessed mobility using the Short Physical Performance Battery (SPPB) and conducted individual one-on-one interviews regarding important personal factors related to mobility. Descriptive statistics were used for demographic and SPPB data. Transcripts underwent thematic coding, informed by the International Classification of Function framework of mobility. We used conceptual content analysis to inductively extract themes and subthemes. We enrolled 31 older adults receiving hemodialysis (42% female, 68% Black) with mean age of 73±8 years and mean dialysis duration of 4.6±3.5 years; mean SPPB was 3.6±2.8 points. Among 12 care partners (75% female, 33% Black), mean age was 54±16 years and mean SPPB was 10.1±2.4 points. Major themes extracted were: 1) mobility represents independence; 2) mobility is precarious; 3) limitations in mobility cause distress; 4) sources of encouragement and motivation are critical; and 5) adaptability is key. Modest sample from single geographic area. For older adults receiving hemodialysis, mobility is severely limited and is often precarious in nature, causing distress. Older adults receiving hemodialysis and their care partners have identified sources of encouragement and motivation for mobility, and cite an adaptable mindset as important. Future studies should conceptualize mobility as a variable condition, and build upon this outlook of adaptability in the development of interventions. Mobility, the ability to move from one place to another, enables independence and supports well-being. Yet many older adults receiving hemodialysis need help with walking and we don’t know all the reasons why. We interviewed 31 older adults receiving hemodialysis and 12 of their care partners to ask about their experiences with losses in mobility. They said that mobility changes in unpredictable ways, which is emotionally upsetting. To cope, the older adults turn to their church, loved ones, and their own inner will, and stay flexible in their expectations of what they can do. As we develop ways to improve the mobility of older adults receiving hemodialysis, we should consider that mobility changes frequently and incorporate this outlook of adaptability.
