Apartments for folk who don't move far when they retire (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bedsitters

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'apartments' is the definition.
(bedsitter is a kind of apartment)

'folk who don't move far when they retire' is the wordplay.
I cannot really see how this works, but
'move' could be 'sit' (sitting is a kind of moving) and 'sit' is present in the answer.
'when' could be 'e' (I've seen this in other clues) and 'e' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for bedsitters that I've seen before include "cheap rooms?" , "Compact accommodation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
