Ten Universal Design Features

 

An Age Friendly Home is a dwelling that is suitable for use across the lifecourse for people of all ages. It is particularly suitable for older people whose needs often change as they age. Age Friendly Homes incorporate key features such as level access and connection to the outdoors. They are integrated into the neighbourhood and are capable of incorporating assistive technology to support ageing in place. Developing Age Friendly Homes helps to future proof housing for an ageing population. Improving housing design and conditions for older people will support independence, prevent falls and improve general health and well-being.
