Neighborhood Makes or Breaks Active Ageing? Findings from Cross-Sectional Path Analysis
Mental ill-health prolongs and complicates other chronic illnesses, which is a major public health concern because of the potential stress it places on health systems. Prevention via active aging and place-based interventions thus became increasingly important with population aging, e.g., through health promotion and age-friendly neighborhoods. However, how the targeted outcomes of these efforts are related remains unclear. This paper examined wh…
Implementation of a Sense of Home in High-Density Multicultural Singapore Nursing Homes
Many studies have introduced principles for creating a sense of home in nursing homes, yet they mostly feature cases from low-density developments in Western countries. This raises a question about how those principles are interpreted and implemented in other cultural contexts, especially in high-density, multicultural environments such as Singapore. This paper examines how a sense of home is implemented in Singapore nursing homes, with a specifi…

Older Adults’ Out-of-Home Activities in a Super-Aged High-Rise, High-Density Neighborhood
Out-of-home activities are critical for older adults' health and quality of life. Using field observations and interviews, this study investigated what neighborhood environmental characteristics influence older adults' out-of-home activities in a high-rise, high-density neighborhood in Singapore. Except for individual characteristics, this study revealed four environmental themes (i.e., physical environment, social environment, service environmen…
Neighborhood atmosphere modifies the eudaimonic impact of cohesion and friendship among older adults
Using Walk-Along Interviews to Identify Environmental Factors Influencing Older Adults’ Out-of-Home Behaviors in a High-Rise, High-Density Neighborhood
Older adults' out-of-home behaviors (OOHBs) are critical for maintaining health and quality of life. Taking Singapore's Yuhua East as a case, this study applied a qualitative approach to explore what neighborhood environmental factors influence older adults' OOHBs. Twelve older adults were recruited for walk-along interviews through the use of purposeful convenience sampling. A content analysis was conducted using NVivo 11 via an inductive approa…
