This article explores dominant planning perspectives on housing for the elderly. It contrasts these perspectives with housing choices and preferences as expressed in a 1987 survey of community dwelling elderly 75 years of age and over living in Kitchener-Waterloo, Ontario, Canda. The results are consistent with those of most studies on housing for the elderly in that a majority of respondents have manifested a marked preference for "aging in place." But our findings also suggest that the old elderly live on a day by day basis, give little time to the consideration of future housing options and refrain from seeking support services or making design alterations. This implies that not only do the old elderly want to remain in their home but they also prefer "coping on their own." The article ends by reviewing the policy implications of these findings. It recommends improved information on available support services, coordinated delivery, and enhanced crisis response capacity. |
