Preferred housing attributes among adults aged 55 years and older with an expressed interest in relocation
The RELOC-AGE program addresses knowledge gaps on associations between housing, relocation, and active and healthy aging. The aim of this study was to investigate preferred housing attributes, and whether such attributes differed depending on desired type of dwelling or individual characteristics, among adults in Sweden aged 55 years and older with an expressed interest in relocation. From the Prospective RELOC-AGE cohort (N = 1,964), this study …
Environmental Features in Home and Public Spaces Supporting Life After Stroke
The primary location for stroke rehabilitation is at home and community settings. • Modifications and adaptations to environments can support life after stroke. • The transitions between environments contributes to the Ecological Systems Theory. • Technologies will dramatically shift stroke rehabilitation at home in the future. • Public space planning can make environments more inclusive for people with stroke. For people who survive a stroke, th…
Aging in place or moving on? Exploring older homeowners’ housing situation in the context of housing market dynamics and policy incentives
Housing preferences in later life vary, and housing decisions are complex. While much attention has been paid to health and accessibility, less is known about how financial factors influence housing decisions among older homeowners. This qualitative study aimed to deepen understanding of how single-family homeowners aged 55 and older reason about their housing situation. We conducted focus groups with 30 participants from four Swedish municipalit…
Stakeholder Perspectives on Built Environmental Factors to Support Stroke Rehabilitation and Return to Everyday Life
BACKGROUND: The transition to undertaking rehabilitation in the home or local neighbourhood calls for an extensive understanding of which aspects of the built environment are important for people with stroke. OBJECTIVE: This qualitative study aims to explore how home and local neighbourhood environments support or hinder rehabilitation for people who have had a stroke from the perspectives of various stakeholders. METHODS: Through a purposive sel…
Stakeholder perspectives on needs and priorities in home-based stroke rehabilitation
Stakeholders identified five themes for home-based stroke rehabilitation. • Patient involvement and staff competence were both rated feasible and important. • The physical home environment and social networks were rated as important, yet less feasible to implement. • A gap was found between policy ambitions and real-world rehabilitation delivery. • Concept mapping enabled stakeholder-driven priorities in care development. Despite growing emphasis…
Linked Transitions in Later Life – Retiring as Transitional Assemblage in the Covid-19 Pandemic
The COVID-19 pandemic challenges expectations of retirement. In this paper, we ask: How is the retirement transition experienced in the everyday lives of older adults during pandemic as compared to pre-pandemic times? The paper draws on 15 semi-structured interviews with adults aged 60–75 years living in Germany within the first year of the COVID-19 pandemic, which were analyzed based on social constructivist Grounded Theory and Situational Analy…
Associations of Meaning of Home and Housing-Related Control Beliefs with Changes in Symptoms and Quality of Life
Feeling in control of one’s environment and perceiving one’s home as meaningful have been found to be associated with health and well-being among older adults. As longitudinal studies of younger-old adults are lacking, this study aimed to investigate whether this association exists over time among older adults around retirement age. Longitudinal data from a random cohort of community-dwelling older adults, ages 65–76 years (N = 329), was collecte…
Moving in together in later life
Using cross-cultural data, this novel study shows an unexpected diversity in housing and cohabitation trajectories among older adults. More research is needed to understand what "aging in the right place" with "the right person" really means and the role of life course trajectories and couple negotiations in such processes. Future research should focus on what comes before and after relocation rather than solely studying the decision-making proce…
Perceived Housing in Relation to Retirement and Relocation
As people age the home environment becomes increasingly important. Retirement commonly leads to spending more time in one's home, and relocating from your own home in older age could be associated with reduced health or wellbeing. The relationship between home and person is complex and perceived aspects of one's housing such as social, emotional and cognitive ties are considered important factors for health and wellbeing. However, little is known…
A hundred days in confinement
Background: When and how people were able to engage in everyday occupations changed suddenly with the coronavirus pandemic. Defined as a risk group due to their age, people 70 years and older in Sweden experienced confinement, as did older adults globally. Aim: To explore how doing, being, becoming, and belonging as dimensions of occupation were manifested in the lives of Swedish people 70 years or older, 100 days into the coronavirus pandemic. M…
Living with the aftermaths of a stroke in the era of the Covid-19 pandemic; the significance of home and close surroundings
Stay-at-home recommendations to reduce the spread of the COVID-19 virus have had a major impact on people's everyday lives. However, while the evidence indicates that such recommendations have caused distress, anxiety, and fear among the public, little is known about how persons living with complex health conditions, e.g., disability after stroke, have experienced and handled the situation. We interviewed fourteen participants (7 women, 7 men) ag…
How is the environment integrated into post‐stroke rehabilitation? A qualitative study among community‐dwelling persons with stroke who receive home rehabilitation in Sweden
Studies have shown a need to consider environmental factors to best support the rehabilitation and recovery process after a stroke. In addition, despite intentions to increase individuals' participation in care and rehabilitation, patients and family members report weak participation. The aim of this study was to explore how the environment was integrated into rehabilitation at home from the perspective of patients after a stroke. We conducted as…
The Importance of the Built Environment in Person-Centred Rehabilitation at Home
Health services will change dramatically as the prevalence of home healthcare increases. Only technologically advanced acute care will be performed in hospitals. This-along with the increased healthcare needs of people with long-term conditions such as stroke and the rising demand for services to be more person-centred-will place pressure on healthcare to consider quality across the continuum of care. Research indicates that planned discharge tai…
Home and Health in the Third Age — Methodological Background and Descriptive Findings
Background: The understanding of the complex relationship between the home environment, well-being and daily functioning in the third age is currently weak. The aim of this paper is to present the methodological background of the Home and Health in the Third Age Study, and describe a sample of men and women in relation to their home and health situation. Methods and Design: The study sample included 371 people aged 67–70, living in ordinary housi…
