Enabling home environments: strategies for aging in place

Author: Steinfeld, E., Shea, S.M.
Year: 1998
Type: Journal Article

Abstract:

Environmental barriers can significantly reduce the independence of older people with disabilities living in a residential setting. Removing these barriers through home modification is one way to increase independence. This study focuses on the effectiveness of technical assistance in helping people to make modifications, and the reasons why modifications are not made. Recommendations for improvements to service delivery are proposed based on the study findings.
