Abstract

This paper derives from a two-year research project focused on older people and their housing. The research investigated the feasibility, acceptability, costs and outcomes of introducing assistive technology (AT) into existing housing (as opposed to new building initiatives). This paper arises from this work which addressed the research question: where AT is already installed in the home, is it used effectively by older people and do they experience benefits? AT covered a diverse range of products, both standard and specialist, from taps, telephones and showers to community alarms, grab rails and stair lifts. A key element in the research involved exploring with older people their use and experience of a range of AT. (1 Reference).
