With increasing age the social and physical environment of elderly persons becomes increasingly focussed upon the home and its immediate surroundings, whilst life within the home ("Wohnen") expands to take in a wider variety of activities. Critical life events and transitions in old age often induce changes both in the way of life within the home and also in housing. The way of life of elderly people in the home ("Alterswohnen") can be defined as the totality of goal-directed activities within the social-physical context of their home and its immediate surroundings. This includes as central elements physical and psychological regeneration, communication, recreation, and the emergence of an emotional relationship to the home. From a stress and coping paradigm, difficulties in home life can be interpreted as the result of transactions between individual and environment. These transactions are influenced by the cognitive appraisal of the living situation and by the efforts of the individual to cope with the stressful aspects of home life.
随着年龄的增长，老年人的社会和物质环境越来越集中在家庭及其直接周边环境上，而家庭生活（“居住”）则扩展到涵盖更广泛的各种活动。老年期的重大生活事件和转变往往会引发家庭生活方式以及住房方面的变化。老年人在家中的生活方式（“老年居住”）可以被定义为在其家庭及其直接周边环境的社会 - 物质背景下有目标导向的活动的总和。这包括身体和心理恢复、交流、娱乐以及对家产生情感联系等核心要素。从压力与应对范式来看，家庭生活中的困难可以被解释为个人与环境之间相互作用的结果。这些相互作用受到对生活状况的认知评估以及个人应对家庭生活压力方面努力的影响。
