| Annotation | Following a short introduction, five articles discuss the merits of older people being able to continue living in their own homes. First, Ernest Chui considers the idea of 'ageing in place' in Hong Kong, a westernised Chinese society. For Taiwan, another Chinese community, Chen Yen-jen presents the problems of declining co-residence between older people and other family members and its implications for the "filial piety" model of care. Hwang Eunju, a Korean scholar working in Canada, compares the patterns of service use and housing-related decisions for Chinese and Korean older migrants in British Columbia, Canada. Her findings illustrate the important role of neighbourhood in ageing in place. Andrew and Judith Sixsmith critically review the benefits, problems and challenges that exist in relation to ageing in place in the UK; they review the role of information and communications technology (ICT) based telecare in helping older people to live independently. Lai On-kwok also looks at the potential of ICT in Japan, specifically whether or not digital gadgets help good practice for intergenerational care for "home alone" older people. (RH). |
