Can your neighbourhood change the way you age?

Can your neighbourhood change the way you age?

In this episode, we discuss how neighbourhood characteristics, such as how much green space there is, 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.

We learn about:

• what a Health Geographer is
• 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
