Abstract

ABSTRACT We identify salient research gaps in the elderly housing research and respond to the lack of knowledge, guided by Menec, Means, Keating, Parkhurst, and Eales' (2011) age-friendly communities framework. These gaps in knowledge include age-friendliness, aging in place, conceptualization of home, falls, housing as it relates to disability and health, person-environment fit, and housing programs and initiatives. We discuss how the age-friendly paradigm can inform these areas of the literature and address problems presented in each. This review is intended to provide a roadmap for future researchers, administrators, clinicians, and policy makers.

老年人住房：通过老年友好社区的视角解决知识差距

摘要在Menec、Means、Keating、Parkhurst和Eales（2011）的老年友好社区框架的指导下，我们发现了老年住房研究中的显著研究差距，并对知识的缺乏做出了回应。这些知识差距包括年龄友好性、就地老龄化、家庭概念化、跌倒、与残疾和健康相关的住房、人与环境的适合性以及住房计划和举措。我们讨论了年龄友好型范式如何为这些领域的文献提供信息，并解决每个领域中出现的问题。这篇综述旨在为未来的研究人员、管理人员、临床医生和政策制定者提供一个路线图。

期刊介绍： Housing is more than houses-it is the foundation upon which the essentials of life are anchored. The quality of housing can enhance or diminish the well-being of individuals and families as well as that of the entire community. Before the Journal of Housing for the Elderly, housing for the elderly as a subject area has a relatively brief history. The Journal of Housing for the Elderly aims to serve the needs of gerontological professionals in the fields of architecture and housing, urban planning, and public policy who are responsible for the residential environments of the elderly in the community.
