Homes of elderly people: conditions and risks

The objective of this study is to analyze the characteristics of Spanish homes in which the person concerned is aged 65 or over. The study focuses on the different aspects of safety in the home, identifying possible risk factors that may increase the risk of accident. Learning more about the living conditions of our elderly people, the state of household installations and the socioeconomic factors that can influence lifestyle habits in the homes we visited can help us to reduce risks.
