Moving In Out and Around the Home: Solutions from Older Adults with Long-term Mobility Impairment

2015-06 , Gonzalez, Elena , Fausset, Cara , Foster, Amanda , Cha, Grace , Fain, W. Brad

The purpose of this study was to explore how older adults aging with long-term mobility impairment have adapted to mobility challenges in the home. Through in-home interviews, participants discussed their experience moving in, out and around their home with regard to challenges, solutions, barriers, and changes with age. This paper provides a characterization of the solutions used by participants to overcome in-home mobility challenges as well as unresolved barriers they faced. These themes illustrate the ingenuity of the participants as well as opportunities to support aging in place via design to better match a person’s environment to his/her capabilities.
