Overview

Qualitative research explores how extra care housing impacts quality of life and community for older adults, indicating areas for improvement.

Key Points

  • Findings demonstrate how extra care housing supports residents' independence and community engagement, influencing overall well-being.
  • Key quality of life domains identified through interviews include health and safety, socialization, and a sense of place within the community.
  • Semi-structured interviews with care managers revealed a complex interplay of factors affecting residents' lived experiences in extra care settings.
  • The results suggest that while some extra care housing environments maintain high standards, others report deteriorating conditions, highlighting a need for policy intervention.
