Abstract
ABSTRACT We identify salient research gaps in the elderly housing research and respond to the lack of knowledge, guided by Menec, Means, Keating, Parkhurst, and Eales' (2011) age-friendly communities framework. These gaps in knowledge include age-friendliness, aging in place, conceptualization of home, falls, housing as it relates to disability and health, person-environment fit, and housing programs and initiatives. We discuss how the age-friendly paradigm can inform these areas of the literature and address problems presented in each. This review is intended to provide a roadmap for future researchers, administrators, clinicians, and policy makers.
期刊介绍:
Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
