Abstract

Most people as they age, wish to do so with as much independence as possible, to remain in their homes and communities with the health and social services required [1]. This is known as aging-in-place, and it has many benefits for the aging adult as they remain connected to the places and people they know. With aging-in-place, older adults are more likely to be socially, cognitively and physically active. For many healthcare systems, this can also be a benefit by delaying or avoiding institutional residential care with a subsequent reduction in system demand. Aging-in-place does not come without a cost or challenges as many aging adults need the support of formal and informal caregivers. For the latter, this tends to be family members [2].

测量与应用

随着年龄的增长，大多数人都希望尽可能独立，留在家里和社区，获得所需的卫生和社会服务[1]。这被称为就地老龄化，它对老年人有很多好处，因为他们与他们认识的地方和人保持联系。随着年龄的增长，老年人更有可能参与社交、认知和身体活动。对于许多医疗保健系统来说，这也可能是一个好处，因为推迟或避免机构住宿护理，从而减少系统需求。就地老龄化并非没有成本或挑战，因为许多老年人需要正式和非正式护理人员的支持。对于后者，这往往是家庭成员[2]。
