Nursing Home Bias LTC Bias Towards Nursing
Homes Has Been Accompanied By A Focus On Environmental Research In Institutional Settings
It Has Crowded Out Research In Conventional Settings Where Most Older Adults Live-- Their Own Homes And Apartments

Problem Even In Community-Based Care,
Home Modification (HM) Has Been A Sleeper Issue
It Has Taken A Backseat To The Delivery Of Personal Care And Health Services
Part Of The Problem Has Been Issues Of Measurement & Conceptualization

The Need For Research
Consequently, Few Data Sets And Investigator-Initiated Research Have Focused On Home Environment
![Page 6: A Home Modification Research Agenda For Long Term Care Jon Pynoos, Ph.D. National Resource Center On Supportive Housing And Home Modification Andrus Gerontology](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649c9c5503460f9495a9cc/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Why Is The Home Environment Important?
The Physical Environment Can Enhance Or Impede One’s Functional Ability And Quality Of Life
Potential Mismatch In Fit Between Person And The Environment (Powell Lawton)
Strong Preference Of Older Adults To Age In Place Psychological Familiarity Ties To Neighborhood

What Are Home Modifications?
Home Modification (HM) Refers To Converting Or Adapting The Environment To Make Performing Tasks Easier, Reduce Accidents, And Support Independent Living.

Those With High Levels Of Functional Impairment
2. HMs, in Combination With OT Assessment and Follow-up, Significantly Improved Bathing Ability Among Frail Elderly

7. What Has Been The Trend In HMs Over Time? Significant Increases In The Use Of
Assistive Devices & HMs over last decade
45.3% Of Older Persons Live In Homes That Have Special Features
Suggests That HMs Substitute For Personal Care Services, But Mechanism Unclear.

How Does The Service Delivery System Impact HMs?
Fragmented Service Delivery System Makes It Difficult to Obtain HMs
Gaps In Services
Cursory Assessments

What Have We Learned So Far?1. The Home Environment Matters
Makes Tasks Easier To Carry Out Facilitates Caregiving Can Reduce Health Care Costs And
Institutionalization
2. Significant Unmet Need
3. Problems in Service Delivery Fragmentation, Gaps, Affordability,
Assessment
Only Scratched The Surface In Our Understanding Of The Role And Potential Of HMs in LTC

Issues Related To The Environment Will Only Become More Important In The Future:
Increased Emphasis On Community Based Care And Implementation Of The Olmstead Decision
Advocacy By Younger Persons With Disabilities
Majority Of Housing Stock Not Subject To Fair Housing Amendments Act

Stairs Is An Increasing Problem
IN 1970, ALMOST 3/4 OF HOMES BUILT WERE ONE-STORY
IN 1993, MORE THAN HALF OF THE NEW HOMES BUILT HAD STAIRS

What Can We Do To Improve Research?
1. Insure That Longitudinal Data Sets On LTC Include Items Related To The Physical Environment
2. Insure That Housing Data Sets Include Items About Both Functioning And Home Modifications
3. Coordinate LTC And Housing Data Sets To Insure Consistency
4. Provide Greater Specificity About The Environment (e.g.,Types Of HMs.)
![Page 26: A Home Modification Research Agenda For Long Term Care Jon Pynoos, Ph.D. National Resource Center On Supportive Housing And Home Modification Andrus Gerontology](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649c9c5503460f9495a9cc/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
5. Test The Most Effective Ways To Integrate The Delivery Of HM Services With The Long-term Care System
Develop Best Practices Models To Encourage The Replication Of Successful Approaches
![Page 27: A Home Modification Research Agenda For Long Term Care Jon Pynoos, Ph.D. National Resource Center On Supportive Housing And Home Modification Andrus Gerontology](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649c9c5503460f9495a9cc/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
6. Test What Types Of HMs Work With Which Groups (e.g., Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s)
7. Replicate Intervention Studies With Larger Samples
![Page 28: A Home Modification Research Agenda For Long Term Care Jon Pynoos, Ph.D. National Resource Center On Supportive Housing And Home Modification Andrus Gerontology](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649c9c5503460f9495a9cc/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Overall, More Funding For: 1. Nationally-directed Research
Initiatives
2. Investigator-initiated Research
![Page 29: A Home Modification Research Agenda For Long Term Care Jon Pynoos, Ph.D. National Resource Center On Supportive Housing And Home Modification Andrus Gerontology](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051400/56649c9c5503460f9495a9cc/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Recognize That Housing Is The “Where” In LTC
