Successful aging means conducting basic, instrumental, and enhanced activities of daily living with autonomy and independence. To help improve safety and promote aging in place, we conducted exploratory research to create a protocol with design guidelines. We identified environmental safety features for older adults’ homes through a literature review, walkthrough, focus groups, and surveys. Our findings categorized design and guidelines for providing minimum to maximum safety recommendations while considering human factors and design features. Designers can use this protocol to create safe environments for older adults or by themselves to improve the safety of their homes.

摘要

Successful aging means conducting basic, instrumental, and enhanced activities of daily living with autonomy and independence. To help improve safety and promote aging in place, we conducted exploratory research to create a protocol with design guidelines. We identified environmental safety features for older adults’ homes through a literature review, walkthrough, focus groups, and surveys. Our findings categorized design and guidelines for providing minimum to maximum safety recommendations while considering human factors and design features. Designers can use this protocol to create safe environments for older adults or by themselves to improve the safety of their homes.
