Abstract

Investigates whether current homes and neighbourhoods meet the needs of an ageing population and how these might be adapted in the future, to allow people to stay in their communities and maintain independent lives. Contains design guidance and looks specifically at support for conditions associated with old age including physical support, accessibility and mobility; sensory support, particularly vision and hearing; support for dementia.
