Description
Yeonjung Lee, Lauren Migrino, Rochelle Deloria, and Kurt Robertson let older adults photograph their own access barriers in Calgary. Their 2023 study uses photovoice, where participants shoot images of what matters to them. Thirteen older adults across seven neighborhoods took part.
Five themes emerge from the photos and talks. Planning ahead for aging needs stands first, since aging in place takes foresight. Close, convenient access to services and resources matters next. Cultural and language supports boost safety and belonging for many. Mixed-age, mixed-background neighbors enrich community life, participants say. Affordable support rounds out the list as key to an independent life. Social connection is prized, yet thin support can leave older adults isolated.
