Australian Occupational Therapist and Manager Perspectives on Important Home Modification Outcomes
Introduction: Research exploring the perspectives of older adults and individuals with disability about important outcomes of home modifications indicates a complex interaction of valued outcomes, beyond funding programs’ aims of safe and independent living.

The home environment: Influences on the health of young-old and old-old adults in Australia
The physical and societal characteristics of home have been established as important in influencing the health and wellbeing of older adults, yet these have rarely been explored together. There is also limited research into variation across age groups, with older adults often examined as a homogenous group of those 65 years and over. This study advances the knowledge base by using the concept of person–environment (P-E) fit to analyse differences…

Exploring Older Tenants’ Healthy Ageing in Privately Rented Homes
An increasing focus in aged care policy is supporting older people to age at home. However, there is little recognition of the health and independence of older private renters living in a space they do not own or control. This paper draws on in-depth interviews and assessments undertaken in the homes of 27 older tenants in the Brisbane environs aiming to understand how renting privately influenced their ability to meet their basic needs. An analy…

The findings indicate overall satisfact…
The experience of home for social housing tenants with a disability: Security and connection but limited control
Research exploring the meaning of home is well established; however, limited attention has been paid to contexts outside of western, owner-occupied homes. One context which requires further investigation is the experience of home for adults with disability living in social housing. This study aimed to investigate this experience in Australia. Fifteen households participated in in-depth interviews. Two themes “home is still home” and “loss of cont…
