This is a study of low income, rural elderly and their perceptions of the ability of their housing environment to support aging-in-place. Visitor-employed-photography (VEP), personal interviews, and video taping were the research methods used. VEP is a research method that requires participants to take photographs to document their perceptions. Respondents were asked to photo graph features of their housing environments that they considered to be either “helpful” or a “hindrance” to their ability to successfully age-in-place. This paper concentrates on information from the VEP and interviews conducted in four communities in rural Louisiana. Aspects of their housing environments that subjects perceived as helpful or a hindrance are discussed within the framework of Lawton and Nehamow’s Ecological Model” (1973)
