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
