Powell Lawton, who died in January 2001, was arguably the most significant thinker, researcher, and practitioner in environment-behavior studies within the field of gerontology. The authors of Physical Environments and Aging represent three generations of internationally recognized researchers whose lives and work were greatly influenced by both Lawton the professional and Lawton the man. This book presents their assessment of his contributions to environmental theory, purpose-built housing, community study, long-term care settings, and other related topics. Many of the contributors also share personal anecdotes that illustrate how Lawton's professional visions were shaped by his remarkable intellect and personality. Physical Environments and Aging examines many aspects of environmental gerontology, including: housing policy reform and home modification place therapy philosophic foundations of environment-aging studies the future of theory, practice, and policy in the field the role of neighborhoods More than just an homage, Physical Environments and Aging is also a practical guide to the field, offering you tractable theory, useful methods and measures, and functional research overviews in the realms of everyday experience of older adults.

Download or read book Psychosocial Factors Impacting Rural Oldest old Adults Quality of Life While Aging in Place written by Shelby Elkes and published by . This book was released on 2022 with total page 120 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In British Columbia, Canada, older adults make up 40% of the rural populous. Rural communities have been reported to have reduced quantity and accessibility to formal services and supports in comparison to their urban counterparts. With the anticipated increase of older adult populations in Canada and recent implications from the COVID-19 pandemic, determining programs and policies to support older adults aging in the community with reduced access is vital to their quality of life. To address this, two project objectives are completed through this capstone project. The first is a scoping review, which identifies recent empirical literature focused on psychosocial factors, and the characteristics of these processes, related to aging in place for urban and rural older adults. The term psychosocial, is defined as individual, social and environmental processes that impact behaviour. Three themes related to psychosocial processes and aging in place were identified, (1) social connections, (2) continuity and sense of identity and, (3) independence, safety and security. Time and familiarity are key characteristics related to these processes. Limited research was found addressing rural oldest-old (age 80 years or older) community-dwelling older adults and how the presence of psychosocial factors may impact or relate to their quality-of-life aging in place. To address this gap in literature, a CIHR project grant research proposal is presented to study (1) the lived experience of oldest-old adults residing in rural communities in British Columbia and (2) how psychosocial factors may impact or relate to this group of older adults' experience aging in place or quality of life.

Book excerpt: The vast majority of older adults want to age in place, so they can continue to live in their own homes or communities. As the older population grows, the degree to which it can participate in community life and reach needed services will be determined, in part, by how communities are designed. This report examines state policies that can help older adults age in place. These policies include integrating land use, housing and transportation; efficiently delivering services in the home; providing more transportation choices, particularly for older adults who no longer drive; and improving affordable, accessible housing to prevent social isolation.
