Abstract
Abstract This project explored ways of enhancing the lighting of older adults with Age Related Visual Loss. The Visual Functioning Questionnaire (25) was administered at the start of the project and home assessments were carried out mid-way by occupational therapy students. Firstly, findings were analysed using Qualitative Data Analysis Software, and secondly by the Qualitative Analysis Guide of Leuven. Following this, each participant was provided with a lighting prescription devised by experts. Findings indicated that the participants were able to use both this information and that from the focus groups to meet their lighting needs, particularly drawing on LED technology.
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.
