Aging in Place: Perceptions of Older Adults on Low Income Housing Waitlists

The purpose of this study was to explore the perceptions and experiences of aging in place from the perspective of older adults with low incomes, and to understand the process in making the decision to move to age-segregated housing. The results suggested that this group of older adults considered aging in place a concept that can evolve and that does not necessarily mean staying within the same place. This group of older adults shared that the ideal place to grow older provides access to outside space and is a place that offers a sense of belonging.
