In this episode we learn that neighbourhood characteristics (such as amount of green space) can have a significant impact on older people’s ability to age successfully at home.
We speak to Dr Danielle Taylor, health geographer and postdoctoral research fellow, and learn:
- what the role of health geographer entails
- the challenge of managing the ageing population
- the Healthy Ageing/Vulnerable ENvironment (HAVEN) Index
- predicting death and transition to aged care using the HAVEN Index.
