Active Alley: Senior Living within a Neighborhood

Abstract Details

2021, MARCH, University of Cincinnati, Design, Architecture, Art and Planning: Architecture.
Due to medical and caretaking needs, many seniors face displacement from their homes and a sense of isolation from their community. An increasing percentage of senior citizens are choosing at-home assistance instead of nursing home relocation. For these seniors to continue living in their own homes, accessible design retrofits are often necessary. These retrofits adapt homes to meet the specific needs of the residents aging in place. Despite the comfort of living in their own homes, the decision to age in place can still result in seniors becoming isolated from their community through issues of independence and mobility.
