AnnotationPresents findings from an interview study of older people about their views on the importance of their home in maintaining their independence. It considers how the meaning of independence can vary throughout the life course, looks at the level and type of informal and formal support they receive, examines what they like and dislike about their accommodation, and how their quality of life could be improved.
