As part of a knowledge-transfer project consisting of a series of three talks on the topic of healthy ageing and ageing in place, we explored what participants (older adults, students, the general public, as well as professionals in architecture, urban planning and property management) consider to be key requirements for ageing in place and healthy ageing. Feedback is captured using survey questionnaires and a post-talk discussion group. Safety, a comfortable and spacious environment, age-friendly facilities and meeting the needs of older adults, the availability of caring support and home maintenance services were the most frequently mentioned desirable features of ageing in place. Future models for different types of support for ageing in place may be explored by management companies working with the residents themselves, to develop a sustainable business model.
作为一个由三个关于健康老龄化和就地老龄化主题的演讲组成的知识转移项目的一部分，我们探讨了参与者（老年人、学生、公众以及建筑、城市规划和物业管理方面的专业人士）认为适老化和健康老龄化的关键要求是什么。通过问卷调查和演讲后的讨论小组来收集反馈。安全、舒适宽敞的环境、适合老年人的设施和满足老年人的需求、关爱支持和家庭维护服务的提供，是适老化最常被提及的理想特征。管理公司可以与居民合作，探索为不同类型的适老化提供支持的未来模式，以开发可持续的商业模式。
