25-Oct 2005 Launch of report on ageing in place
A new report to be launched this week by Professor Jan Carter representing the AHURI Ltd Board, points to a significant shift in the values and priorities of older Australians that is transforming the patterns of future housing tenue, lifestyle and family relationships.
The report, by Dr Diana Olsberg and Mark Winters commissioned by the Australian Housing and Urban Research Institute (AHURI), concludes that ageing in place depends more upon attachment to location rather than the family home. Aspirations by older Australians for independence, flexibility, consumer and lifestyle choices take precedence, challenging traditional notions of old age and family obligations.
Dr Olsberg will give a presentation of the findings following the launch.
