Survey of infill renovation for disabled elderly people to continue to stay at their homes longer
This study demonstrates that infill renovation for the elderly to continue to stay at their homes longer reduces the physical and mental burden of the elderly and their caretakers. The infill renovation is expected to provide disabled elderly residents with more independence, self‐decision‐making abilities, and dignity in their everyday life. Even if the physical abilities of disabled elderly people have deteriorated, the infill renovation will promote the use of their remaining abilities to enable them to stay at their homes longer. Home environment plays an important role in enabling disabled elderly people to continue to stay at their homes even after their physical functions have started deteriorating.
