Abstract The number of persons living with dementia and related cognitive disorders is predicted to increase dramatically in the coming years. As a consequence, the need is increasing for appropriately designed long-term care (LTC) environments and design guidelines for these settings. This investigation presents the findings of a broad literature review on biophilic design and its application to a set of LTC architectural case studies selected for the degree to which each variously expresses key attributes of a set of ten biophilic patterns particularly rooted in the day to day experience of the aged in these care settings: visual connections with nature, non-visual connection with nature, non-rhythmic sensory stimuli, thermal and airflow variability, presence of water, dynamic and diffused light, complexity and order, prospect, refuge, and mystery. The three methodological aims are to conduct an in-depth literature review, to distill the aforementioned subset of biophilic patterns with respect to how the aged experience their built surroundings, and third, to examine these in light of their various expression in recently built state-of-the art LTC settings for persons with dementia and related cognitive disorders. Residents’ engagement with and proximity to nature and landscape, and transactions with biophilia-inspired artifacts was the principal focus. The case studies are further examined in relation to the planning and design of LTC environments in the context of the COVID-19 pandemic. Future biophilic-inspired directions for evidence-based research and design for persons with dementia and related cognitive disorders are discussed.

Abstract This study aims to identify and evaluate the potential risks associated with the development of retirement village through public-private partnership (PPP) approach. An international questionnaire survey was conducted with experienced practitioners. The findings show that five risk factors are very significant in the development of retirement village PPPs; these are “inexperience of private partner/developer,” “high operational and maintenance cost,” “inappropriate location of land for project,” “lack of highly skilled operational staff,” and “poor communication among stakeholders”. The results will inform developers and government agencies of the potential risk factors they should consider when engaging in future retirement village PPP arrangements.

Abstract To feel “at home” in long term care (LTC) is an important programmatic goal. Few large studies, however, have examined resident perspectives about feeling at home across different types of LTC settings. We asked 632 older adults living in nursing homes, assisted living, and adult foster homes in Oregon whether or not their setting felt “like home” and to describe their experiences with “at-homeness.” Our qualitative analysis revealed five distinct themes that encompassed social connection; autonomy, control, and choice; engagement with the physical environment; organizational environment; and perceptions and coping. Our findings demonstrate how organizational features, interacting with resident characteristics, can facilitate or constrain the experience of home in LTC settings.

Abstract The current study compares the perceptions of older persons living in sheltered housing to those living independently in the community during the COVID-19 pandemic. The study targeted respondents aged 70+ years in Israel. Nine hundred and sixty-one (961) older adults completed the survey. Respondents living in sheltered accommodation were more satisfied with their lives and more optimistic than those living in independent housing. In addition, they reported more positively on indicators of meaning in life. Moreover, older people living in sheltered housing tended to assess their health status more positively than those living in the community.

Abstract Age-friendly community design is a crucial agenda globally. This study used a qualitative geographic information system (QGIS) approach and an interpretive descriptive orientation to analyze the spatially oriented exercise experiences of community-dwelling older adults living in a low-income neighborhood in Hong Kong. Fifteen community-dwelling older adults aged 62–88 years were involved in the study. Participants were found to make use of different places (i.e., footbridges and children’s playgrounds) proximal to their home locations and create space for their habitual physical exercise routines. These interpretative results add a new dimension of understanding to the planning and design of age-friendly communities.

Abstract Aging-in-Community (AIC) has been the preferred way to aging. However, there is a mismatch between the communities' design and the needs of older adults. With the rapidly growing aging population globally, it is urgent to create a community environment that is constructive for older adults aging in the community. There have been limited scholars investigating the theoretical and conceptual mechanisms behind how the environment encourages or hinders older adults' AIC. This paper reviewed existing environment-related aging theories, aiming to clarify the AIC mechanisms to achieve person–environment (P–E) fit. Two conceptual frameworks were developed to help visualize the mechanisms of P–E fit and P–E misfit processes.

Abstract The purpose of this research was to examine environmental hazards related to falling risk by using two different approaches and to discuss older adults’ adaptive coping strategies. Environmental hazards were identified by a researcher and residents in 88 older adults’ independent living units at a senior retirement community. This research employed two statistical analyses including a dependent sample t-test and pair-wise Kappa statistics in order to identify a significant difference in environmental hazards from two assessment tools as well as examine the inter-rater reliability on each item. Research findings show that older adults could hardly identify as many environmental hazards as the objective measurement did because of their different coping strategies, knowledge, experience, and health status. The residents' perception is a necessary component in that it could provide new insights about hazards. This research provides empirical evidence of how older adults negotiate their environmental hazards.

Abstract This study examines the intersection between residential mobility and housing consumption for seniors who migrate inward from the suburbs of the Baltimore metropolitan statistical area (MSA), with a particular focus on marital status. Using probit and multinomial logistic specifications that are developed with the dataset drawn from the 2013–2017 Public Use Microdata Sample (PUMS), the findings support the argument that preferences for tenure vary greatly with respect to the life-cycle phase. Throughout the Baltimore MSA, seniors show a strong tendency toward downsizing and becoming renters – specifically of apartments – regardless of location. Single status itself does not have a positive effect on the likelihood that a senior may migrate inward nor does it directly impact whether or not a senior adjusts their housing wealth. Nonetheless, recent widowhood significantly increases one’s propensity to move inward; but there is mixed evidence on one’s decision to dissave their housing wealth. This study seeks to provide a better understanding of the varied correlations between senior migration and housing consumption in the Baltimore MSA.

Abstract The World Health Organization (WHO) introduced the age-friendly city as a response based on the challenges of demographic aging to maintain participation of the older adults in society. The purpose of this study was to assess the status of age-friendly city indicators from the viewpoints of older adults living in Kashan City, Iran. The cross-sectional study was conducted among 379 seniors in Kashan in 2020. The study tool was a questionnaire measuring the age-friendly indicators designed by Zarghani and colleagues, according to the criteria set by the WHO. Data were analyzed by SPSS and t-test was run to compare the indicators’ mean scores with those of the desired standard. The mean (standard deviation) of the social, communicational, cultural-recreational, and health-care indicators were 2.34 (0.82), 2.02 (0.78), 2.13 (0.79), and 2.56 (0.94), respectively. In comparing the desirability of the four indicators with the desired standard, no significant difference was observed only in the health-care indicator (p > .05) and in the other indicators; a significant difference was observed which indicates the low desirability of the social, communicational, and cultural-recreational indicators. So, the authorities are suggested to create welfare for the older adults.

Abstract This preliminary study explored the correlates of leisure interests and constraints among 39 adult public housing residents from North Carolina and Pennsylvania. Most preferred activities included walking, volunteering, reading, cards, dining out, travel, movies, and music. Pearson and Spearman correlations revealed significant associations between education quality and leisure interests. Education quantity and quality, pain severity and interference, loneliness, and depressive symptoms were significantly associated with leisure constraints. With the growing number of adults depending upon public housing, it is imperative to understand leisure interests and constraints within these communities, to ensure the availability of appropriate community programs and services.
