Common home hazards among healthy older aged adults and potential modifications required for age-friendly housing
Introduction
The creation of age-friendly home environments enables middle-aged and older aged people to live independently at home while adapting to age-related changes. Little is currently known about existing home hazards that may potentially hinder healthy older people as they age.
Methods
Prospective cohort study of healthy adults who received an age-friendly home environment assessment conducted by an occupational therapist. Adults aged 60 and over, without significant disability, living in homes within metropolitan Adelaide, South Australia were recruited through community advertising.
Results
Sixty age-friendly home environment assessments were conducted. Common areas where potential hazards were identified, and modifications recommended were bathrooms, toilets and backyards. Gardens were commonly identified as potentially requiring modifications in the future. Participants were more likely to consider moving to new housing if additional modifications were needed to their homes.
Conclusion
Affordable and accessible age-friendly housing is required to support an ageing population. Education on age-friendly housing for healthy middle and older aged people is required enabling proactive planning rather than awaiting health crises.
期刊介绍:
The Australian Occupational Therapy Journal is a leading international peer reviewed publication presenting influential, high quality innovative scholarship and research relevant to occupational therapy. The aim of the journal is to be a leader in the dissemination of scholarship and evidence to substantiate, influence and shape policy and occupational therapy practice locally and globally. The journal publishes empirical studies, theoretical papers, and reviews. Preference will be given to manuscripts that have a sound theoretical basis, methodological rigour with sufficient scope and scale to make important new contributions to the occupational therapy body of knowledge. AOTJ does not publish protocols for any study design
The journal will consider multidisciplinary or interprofessional studies that include occupational therapy, occupational therapists or occupational therapy students, so long as ‘key points’ highlight the specific implications for occupational therapy, occupational therapists and/or occupational therapy students and/or consumers.
