Retrofit or misfit? Exploring the impact of bathroom microenvironments on older adults with functional limitations in retrofitted senior living facilities

These systemic shortcomings in bathroom microenvironments highlight a critical focus for retrofitting efforts: functionality, safety, and the evolving needs of older adults to create environments that promote autonomy and reduce fall risks. Anything less is not just a missed opportunity-it is a failure to respect the fundamental rights and well-being of an aging population.

Abstract

These systemic shortcomings in bathroom microenvironments highlight a critical focus for retrofitting efforts: functionality, safety, and the evolving needs of older adults to create environments that promote autonomy and reduce fall risks. Anything less is not just a missed opportunity-it is a failure to respect the fundamental rights and well-being of an aging population.
