What is age-friendly housing?

According to the World Health Organization (WHO), age-friendly communities focus on eight domains, with housing being one of the most critical. This concept of an age-friendly community, including specifically designed homes, is crucial for supporting the independence, health, and well-being of older adults. Age-friendly housing is designed to adapt to the changing needs of its residents, allowing them to remain in their homes and communities for as long as possible.
