Annotation	This article proposes an analytical framework for the understanding of ageing in place, and asks which housing alternatives are compatible with ageing in place, and who is/are responsible for providing housing in old age. A literature review demonstrates that there is no agreement on the "place" in ageing in place, but that ageing in place policies entail joint individual and public responsibility for housing. An empirical example demonstrates different policy expressions of ageing in place at national and local government levels in Norway. The article questions whether a need to move to receive care is compatible with ageing in place. (RH).
