To identify the strategies developed by people in the aging process to keep living in their own home, despite the weaknesses and difficulties they face.
The research was carried out based on a survey of population aged 65 years or older in the Portuguese municipality of Portimão. Data were collected by questionnaire, in 2017, and submitted to statistical and content analysis.
Most respondents own their household, where they feel safe and satisfied, and they show awareness and concern about the changes they have to make in their home to stay there. In addition to housing and livability conditions, health, economic resources, social network, and available services play a major role in the community.
We identified several strategies used by older adults to stay in their households as they age and the ways they mobilize their available resources, as well as constraints of aging in place.
确定人们在衰老过程中为了保持在自己家中生活而制定的策略，尽管他们面临着弱点和困难。
该研究基于对葡萄牙波尔蒂芒市 65 岁及以上人口的调查。数据于 2017 年通过问卷调查收集，并进行了统计和内容分析。
大多数受访者拥有自己的住房，他们在那里感到安全和满意，并意识到他们必须对住房进行的改变，以留在那里。除了住房和宜居条件外，健康、经济资源、社会网络和可用服务在社区中也起着重要作用。
我们确定了老年人在衰老过程中为了留在自己家中而使用的一些策略，以及他们调动可用资源的方式，以及就地老龄化的限制。
