Abstract:

The home environment is a major arena for aging research focusing on objective as well as perceived housing and relying on both quantitative and qualitative methods (Scheldt & Windley, 2006). Bringing such information together has presented, and will continue to present, exciting opportunities for new insights to emerge of theoretical and practical importance for very old people's housing, building upon the ENABLE-AGE multidimensional methodology for research on housing and healthy aging.
