Abstract
Housing conditions strongly influence people's quality of life and contribute to their health. Housing features such as entry stairs, narrow doorways could potentially help or hinder the older person's ability to remain active, independent and socially included in the community. In thinking about the influence the home environment has on the older person's quality of life, we have developed a Housing Audit Checklist to analyse the age-ready quality of individual homes. This Chapter introduces the Housing Audit Checklist, the results and recommendations from its pilot testing and validation on a sample of older residents in Singapore.
