Four Award-Winning Ideas for Aging-in-Place
|
Most people want to continue living independently in their own home as they age into their 70s, 80s, and 90s. However, many homes aren’t designed for health issues that can come with getting older, and aging-in-place alone can be lonely and isolating. The Innovation@Home contest was launched to identify best practices for aging-in-place that take these things into account.
To identify successful age-friendly housing innovations, Grantmakers In Aging (GIA) and the World Health Organization (WHO) Global Network for Age-Friendly Cities and Communities (GNAFCC) launched Innovation@Home. The competition called for international age-friendly housing practices, and the response was great with entries of many different types from 15 countries.
Susan Mende, senior program officer at the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation, said the competition’s judges were looking for approaches and programs that could be adapted and replicated somewhere else.
