Adhering to a set of standards is essential to achieve a desirable living setting. In order to assess strengths and deficiencies, older people described how the checklist of essential features of age-friendly cities matches their own experiences. The descriptive study was conducted with the participation of 384 older people from Tabriz, Iran, who were selected randomly, from all over the city. The degree of conformity of city characteristics was described with the standards with a score of 0–100. The mean age of participants was 68.2 ± 0.35 years. More than half of the respondents (56.5%) were men and approximately one-third of the participants were illiterate and 80% were married respectively. The most satisfying dimension was the outdoor spaces and buildings (32.06 ± 11.94) and the least one was the communication and information (9 ± 0.27). Fragmented systems and services were a general challenge. Inadequate coordination between the public service organizations and consumers prevented the area’s wealth of resources from reaching their full potential.","PeriodicalId":36333,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/26892618.2020.1859037","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49560229","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Study participants, including 278 Whites and 75 Asian Americans, lived in 10 properties of public housing with services in Portland, OR. All Asian-American participants (except four) were immigrants from China, Korea, and Vietnam, and were well connected through community-based health and social services that were delivered onsite and at a nearby center by staff members who were also immigrants from these three countries. Asian-American participants were older, very poor, with limited English proficiency, but, reported stronger family connection and satisfaction with the living environment, which reflected in lower health care needs and utilization, and better quality of life. Participants with developmental disabilities comprised 27 individuals who reported greater health care needs, service utilization, and food insecurity. Asian-American participants with developmental disabilities reported stronger family connections. Regression analyses found level of health care needs was consistently the strongest predictor, followed by food insecurity and family connection, in predicting perceived quality of life. Findings offer insight into a culturally responsive housing services model where minority culture is no longer a risk factor and limited English language proficiency is no longer a cause of isolation.","PeriodicalId":36333,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-11-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/26892618.2020.1846104","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"45718232","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main aim of this study was to develop and validate a checklist for assessing the elderly attitude toward the environmental indicators of public long-term care facilities. Method The tool contains 46 items across six domains developed through semi-structured interviews with the elderly attending public places across the city. In total, 400 elderly patients aged ≥60 years living in Ilam city selected through purposive sampling design. Six subscales, including medical facilities, health facilities, welfare, independence, control, and human relation, were driven. The elderly's attitude toward the environmental indicators of long-term care facilities checklist (EA-EIs) internal consistency, test-retest reliability, and factorial validity was analyzed. Results Explanatory factor analysis confirmed the presumed theoretical model correctly and the following six factors identified through the tool: (a) medical facilities (7 items), (b) health facilities (4 items), (c) welfare (14 items), (d) independence (10 items), (e) control (7 items), and (f) human relation (4 items). Internal consistency yielded high Cronbach alpha values for all six domains and the total overall, suggesting a stable and reliable measure. Two weeks of test-retest reliability for the tool found to be acceptable. Conclusion The present study provides preliminary evidence that (EA-EIS) is a reliable and valid instrument to the efficient assessment of elderly attitude toward the environmental indicators of public nursing home facilities. This instrument should be valuable for public health research as well as health service use.","PeriodicalId":36333,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-24","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/26892618.2020.1834054","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42562429","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Many studies have been performed on the mobility of the elderly in the urban context. However, increasing age makes older people spend more time in their homes, so it calls for further work on the issue within their houses. Besides, the role of architectural variables in indoor mobility has not been examined as much as individual characteristics. Accordingly, our research seeks to bridge such gaps by considering apartment units and examining the role of physical factors. In this respect, the researchers reviewed the related literature and devised a researcher-developed questionnaire. The population included three residential neighborhoods in Mashhad, Iran, among which 436 older people were selected for the study. After controlling the impact of variables related to individual characteristics and living conditions at home, the effect of architectural features on the mobility of the elderly was indicated. The findings revealed the influence of distance and access of architectural variables on the mobility of the elderly only in spacious units.","PeriodicalId":36333,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/26892618.2020.1834053","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43929173","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This qualitative study explored how older homeless adults construct their personal and social identities to manage this stigma. A series of semi-structured in-depth interviews and field observations were conducted over a period of two years with twenty homeless older adults affiliated with an outreach program in a Northeastern U.S. city. Results revealed three typologies of identity narration strategies that the participants used in their processes of identity negotiation and stigma resistance: (1) illumination of positive identities, (2) differentiation and hierarchy, and (3) adoption of other stigmatized but more “deserving” identities. Three case narratives are presented here as a means of illustrating the constructed typology of identity narration and negotiation strategies among older adults experiencing homelessness. Findings suggest ways we might honor individual narratives to eliminate the dividing practice of homelessness as “other” and reframe the discourse to better address older homelessness.","PeriodicalId":36333,"journal":{"name":"Journal of Aging and Environment","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.0,"publicationDate":"2020-10-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1080/26892618.2020.1834051","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42486390","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
