Abstract

Long-term growth rates have indicated that the aging population calls for the need for senior-friendly accommodations for older adults that have grown older in various ways from their predecessors. This study explores the lived experiences of older adults with functional limitations living in senior living facilities and the impact on their social, physical, and psychosocial well-being. Through one-on-one, semi-structured, in-depth interviews, data was collected from 14 women and 14 men who have lived in a senior living facility in three urban locations, aged between 60 and 95. The study employed the Modified Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen analysis method guided by Moustakas’ transcendental phenomenology. This paper identified five main themes associated with older adults with functional limitations in senior living facilities: fear, loneliness, living with functional limitations, satisfaction with the living environment, and social connection. The findings provide valuable implications for academicians, policy-makers, healthcare facilitators, senior accommodations or operators, and government agencies.

老年人友好住宿：对老年人在老年生活设施中功能受限的生活体验的现象学研究

长期增长率表明，人口老龄化要求对老年人友好的住宿需求，这些老年人以各种方式比他们的前辈变老。本研究探讨老年人在老年生活设施中的生活经历及其对其社会、身体和心理健康的影响。通过一对一、半结构化、深入的访谈，收集了来自三个城市老年人生活设施的14名女性和14名男性的数据，年龄在60至95岁之间。本研究采用以穆斯塔卡斯先验现象学为指导的改良的Stevick-Colaizzi-Keen分析方法。本文确定了与老年生活设施中功能受限老年人相关的五个主题:恐惧、孤独、功能受限生活、对生活环境的满意度和社会联系。研究结果为学者、政策制定者、医疗保健促进者、老年人住宿或运营商以及政府机构提供了有价值的启示。
