| Annotation | Extra-care housing (ECH) is a new housing model in Sweden, falling between ordinary homes and sheltered housing. The perception of safety among residents living in ECH was explored using in-depth interviews with 28 older people (mean age 83). A qualitative thematic analysis resulted in a model of perceived safety in the housing environment consisting of four themes: being able to manage on my own; a safe social context; being able to stay; and protection and safety. The model can be used for information, planning and development of ECH in general. (RH). |
