Exploring the Reasons to Age Well in Place

Despite the potential to relocate with their kin afar, older adults in migrant households often choose to age in place amidst the vulnerabilities of long-distance care. The study aims to explore the perceptions and experiences of aging well in migrant households using an inductive approach. In-de…
Enablers and Barriers to Alternative Care

While several attempts have been made to quantify the accessibility and utilisation of geriatric care, there is a dearth of evidence on…

This study aims to explore the perceptions of left-behind older adults regarding long-distance care practices by their adult children and to describe the practical and functional care deficits …
