Abstract:

This paper outlines the importance of adapting the home to accomodate the ageing population. While not going into the mechanics of how to do it, the authors used a questionaire with a rating of 1 to 5. This questionaire helps to determine their level of activity and is a useful way to signify any modifications that have to be made to their residence.
