Abstract:

Independent Living has influenced strategies for ageing in place, impacting public policies regarding housing and care services. However, this app-roach remains challenging as products and services for older people are stigma-tising, reducing adoption levels. This study aims to understand how people would integrate care for their future selves in a home environment via two coproduction sessions (online and in-person). A multi-generational group of participants with lived experience as informal caregivers provided insights about built environment aspects, home and neighbourhood, meaningful relationships and advanced activ-ities of daily living for later life. Data was analysed qualitatively. The outcomes show how coproduction can be used to develop home and care concepts for aging in place, including insights about preferred home configurations and how phys-ical and digital interactions with products available in the market can improve quality of life as people age. This research can be used as a reference for design-ing inclusive new-builds, home adaptations and assisted-living technologies and interfaces. By using this approach, independent living strategies could evolve to support positive interdependence networks of people to use digital and physical spaces involving and enhancing self-care and informal and formal care services.
