- Description
- As an intrinsic part of everyday life, risk plays a key role in shaping decision-making and outcomes in older age. Some of the most important decisions and choices that individuals will face relate to later life and whether to remain living in the home or, alternatively, moving into residential aged-care. These decisions become more complex within the contexts of housing unaffordability, changing social and family structures, and rapidly shifting welfare and aged-care policy contexts. Drawing on Beck’s risk society, structural individualisation, and person-environment (PE-fit) this qualitative study examined older women’s housing and social circumstances, and their plans and expectations for housing and support.
