Description
Delivering sustainable and quality aged care in home environments. . This project aims to investigate the role of housing in the delivery of quality, sustainable home care by exploring the perspectives of older people, aged care staff and aged care organisations. It expects to generate new knowledge about the relationship between care and built environments using techniques including walk-along interviews and surveys. Expected outcomes include an evidence base describing the relationship between care delivery (equity of access, effectiveness, safety and sustainability) and housing features (housing type, design, tenure and condition). Outcomes are expected to provide significant benefits including building Australia’s capacity to deliver quality home care and support a sustainable aged care workforce..
