Temporal Aspects of Walking in the Neighbourhood for People Living with Dementia
Neighbourhood Walking Experiences of People Living with Dementia and their Care Partners in Western Canada
Barriers and facilitators to neighbourhood navigability for persons living with dementia
To promote dementia-inclusive neighbourhoods, planners must develop a better understanding of the barriers and facilitators that shape the ability of persons living with dementia to participate in their community. This study pairs go-along interviews with a pedshed analysis to assess the navigability of neighbourhoods in Prince George, British Columbia. Findings reveal how neighbourhood planning has shaped a host of interrelated barriers and faci…
“I had no hug”
During the COVID-19 pandemic, older adults faced heightened vulnerability, particularly when navigating grief under conditions of disruption and isolation. This study examines the lived experiences of twelve community-dwelling older women in Greater Vancouver, British Columbia, who lost a family member between March and December 2020. Through semi-structured interviews, the research explores participants' social constructions of grief and bereave…
Integrating neighbourhood walkability perceptions of people living with dementia in urban design and planning in British Columbia, Canada
Urban design and planning play an important role in supporting the out-of-home activity participation of people living with dementia. Studies show discrepancies in planners' understanding of the perceptions, motivations, and needs of people living with dementia related to environmental support. This study explores 1) how people living with dementia perceive neighbourhood environmental support for outdoor walking, and 2) how the recommendations fo…
Built environment factors and their impacts on outdoor walking activity among people living with dementia
Introduction As the population of people living with dementia in Canada continues to grow, understanding the built environment’s role in facilitating outdoor activity is increasingly critical. While prior qualitative and quantitative research has established the benefits of outdoor walking for the physical, mental, and social well-being of people living with dementia, empirical spatial analysis of built environment factors influencing their walki…
Exploring the neighbourhood physical environment's role on the walking experience of people living with dementia and mild cognitive impairment
Transforming long-term care
Culturally responsive care is essential to meaningful relationship-building in long-term care (LTC) settings, yet there is limited understanding of how Relationship-Centered Care (RCC) is interpreted and enacted in contexts shaped by shared cultural frameworks. This critical ethnographic study examines how RCC practices unfolded within an ethno-specific LTC home serving predominantly Chinese older adults in Vancouver, drawing on document review, …
A qualitative examination of the challenges and needs during hospital discharge for people with lived experience of homelessness
People with lived or living experiences of homelessness (PWLEH) have higher rates of chronic and acute health problems and present to hospitals at a higher rate than their housed counterparts. Limited research has explored how PWLEH characterize their own discharge experiences. To improve hospital discharge processes and policies for PWLEH, this qualitative study conducted a thematic analysis of semi-structured interviews with 20 PWLEH in Metro V…
Perspectives of municipal professionals on adopting a dementia-friendly and inclusive approach in urban planning and design in British Columbia, Canada
An accessible and navigable neighbourhood physical environment is a critical part of dementia-friendly and inclusive communities (DFCs). Municipalities in British Columbia (B.C.), Canada have committed to the vision of DFCs with action plans outlining priorities in planning, design, engineering, and services. City planners and designers play an instrumental role in implementing these plans. Our study aims to understand their needs and challenges …
Exploring the awareness of changes in outdoor mobility and the influence of the neighbourhood environment among people living with dementia in British Columbia, Canada
Exploring people’s awareness of age and disease related changes (AADRC) offers unique insights into how people living with dementia form experiential knowledge. • The transition into living with dementia is marked by changing mobility-related needs and priorities, and adapting to changing walking abilities to maintain out-of-home activity. • People living with dementia become increasingly aware of physical and social risk factors in the neighbour…
Exploring the social determinants of health from the perspectives of people with spinal cord injuries
The social determinants of health is an internationally recognized approach to analyzing the impact of non-medical factors on individual health. However, disability is mostly associated with inherent vulnerability without recognition of the social factors. The goal of this qualitative study is to examine the lived experiences of persons living with spinal cord injury (SCI) in coping and managing their health and functioning and to explore an inte…
Measuring the Impact of Bedroom Privacy on Social Networks in a Long-Term Care Facility for Hong Kong Older Adults
This study aims to measure the impact of bedroom privacy on residents' social networks in a long-term care (LTC) facility for older adults. Little is known about how the architectural design of bedrooms affects residents' social networks in compact LTC facilities. Five design factors affecting privacy were examined: bedroom occupancy, visual privacy, visibility, bedroom adjacency, and transitional space. We present a spatio-social network analysi…
Protocol for A Mixed-Methods Study
Neighbourhoods are known to help maintain functional abilities and enable out-of-home activities and social participation for people living with dementia. Dementia friendly and inclusive communities (DFC) frameworks recognize the importance of developing supportive and empowering environments for people living with dementia and their families. Beyond the core objective of raising awareness and eliminating stigma associated with dementia, most DFC…
Aging in the Right Place for Older Adults Experiencing Housing Insecurity
Research on programs offering senior-specific housing supports and enabling "aging in the right place" (AIRP) for "older persons with experiences of homelessness" (OPEH) is limited. This paper presents an environmental assessment of a "transitional housing program" (THP) in Metro Vancouver, Canada, for OPEH to AIRP. Data were collected using Aging in the Right Place Environmental (AIRP-ENV) and Secondary Observation (AIRP-ENV-SO) audit tools desi…
Everyday Walking Among Older Adults and the Neighborhood Built Environment
A walkable neighborhood becomes particularly important for older adults for whom physical activity and active transportation are critical for healthy aging-in-place. For many older adults, regular walking takes place in the neighborhood and is the primary mode of mobility. This study took place in eight neighborhoods in Metro Portland (USA) and Metro Vancouver (Canada), examining older adults' walking behavior and neighborhood built environmental…
Re-framing mobility in older adults
Although there is widespread acceptance regarding the importance of mobility in older adults, there have been few attempts to bridge disciplines and move beyond the predominant focus on functional aspects of mobility. In this article, we present an adapted mobility framework with the goal of continued development to acknowledge the subjective and temporal elements of movement in order to comprehensively conceptualize mobility. The adapted framewo…

Advancing understanding of person-environment interaction in later life
It makes your life worthwhile. It gives you a purpose in living’
The World Health Organization claims that mobility is vital to healthy ageing and is the best guarantee of older adults being able to cope and remain in their homes and communities. Mobility enables older adults to maintain their physical health, independence and participation in society. In general, mobility is examined objectively, from a quantitative perspective where mobility is measured as physical movement ( e.g. physical activity) and/or t…
The Landscape of “Aging in Place” in Gerontology Literature
The literature on the concept of "aging in place" covers a wide range of areas; however, there is no consensus on how it should be defined or on the influencing factors. This literature review aimed to identify its definitions, related processes, and factors. Results showed there was much variability in the definition and theoretical assumptions and that older adults' perspective was rarely included. Influencing factors and processes included ind…
Using Video-Reflexive Ethnography to Engage Hospital Staff to Improve Dementia Care
In this article, we discuss how video-reflexive ethnography may be useful in engaging staff to improve dementia care in a hospital medical unit. Seven patients with dementia were involved in the production of patient-story videos, and fifty members of staff (nurses, physicians, and allied health practitioners) participated in video-reflexive groups. We identified five substantial themes to describe how video-reflexive groups might contribute to e…

A Cross-National Comparison of Reminiscence Functions Between Canadian and Israeli Older Adults
We discuss various historical and geo-political factors that may account for these differences. For instance, recurrent war, ongoing terror, and regional instability make living and aging in Israel distinct from Canada. This model of reminiscence functions would appear sufficiently sensitive to capture cross-national differences
A Comparative Study on the Effect of Housing Characteristics and Living Arrangements on Well-Being of Immigrant and Non-Immigrant Older Adults in Canada
Based on analyses of three national datasets, this study explored differences in the housing (e.g., homeownership, living arrangement, size, crowding, modification, etc.) and self rated well-being characteristics (physical and mental health, life satisfaction) of immigrant versus non-immigrant older adults in Canada. The variables selected for the analyses in each dataset were slightly different based on their availability in the datasets. Findin…
