The concept of home to women ageing should be visited in the light of ongoing cultural, political, temporal and disciplinary evolutions. In part, to compliment policies increasing focus on supporting older adults to age in place and a growing attention on the home as a place where healthcare is designed and provided. The following concept analysis utilises Rodgers' evolutionary method to inductively analyse literature in order to elicit the meaning and experience of home among older women who are ageing at home. Literature was collected over an 18-month period during 2014-2015 and the sample was made up of 49 articles. The analysis led to the concept of home among women ageing in communities to be defined by four attributes. These attributes are home as (i) a resource, (ii) an attachment, (iii) the precariousness of maintaining and sustaining home and (iv) a cultural expectation. This analysis of the meaning and experience of home among women ageing at home has shed light on the needs for this group of women, while highlighting the need to continue to further clarify and define the concept through research.
应结合当前文化、政治、时代及学科的发展来审视老年女性居家的概念。部分原因在于，要配合日益注重支持老年人居家养老的政策，以及人们对家庭作为医疗保健设计与提供场所的关注度不断提高。以下概念分析运用罗杰斯的演化方法对文献进行归纳分析，以探寻居家养老的老年女性对家的理解和体验。文献收集于2014年至2015年的18个月期间，样本由49篇文章组成。分析得出社区中居家养老女性对家的概念由四个属性定义。这些属性分别是：（i）一种资源；（ii）一种情感依恋；（iii）维持和维系家庭的不确定性；（iv）一种文化期望。对居家养老女性对家的意义和体验的这一分析，揭示了这一群体女性的需求，同时凸显了通过研究继续进一步澄清和界定该概念的必要性。
