Community home-based care has become China’s main mode of care for the elderly, and the aging of the community public environment has become the focus of attention of all of society. This study uses a questionnaire survey and the fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (FAHP) to (i) obtain the relative weights of indicators in the hierarchy structure of an aging-friendly community public environment and (ii) build a complete indicator evaluation system for the aging-friendly community public environment. The research results show that the quasi-side evaluation index framework of the aging-friendly community public environment is composed of four factors (i.e., community facilities, community road system, community environmental function, and community landscape configuration) and 24 evaluation indexes. The weights of the indicators in descending order are “community road system (w = 0.374)”, “community facilities (w = 0.310)”, “community environmental functions (w = 0.264)”, and “community landscape configuration (w = 0.052)”. The research results show that "community road systems” and “community facilities” are important indicators of the aging-friendliness of a community public environment. “Community environmental function” is an important supplemental factor of the aging-friendliness of a community public environment. “Community landscape configuration” involves improving the construction of the community public environment from the perspective of landscaping. Among all indicator levels, the weights of “Community road floor slip resistance” (w = 0.1795), “Daily health and medical facilities (w = 0.1181)”, and “Provide social interaction functions (w = 0.1067)” are ranked the highest. These results show that ensuring the physical and mental health of the elderly in the community is a core criterion for evaluating the aging-friendliness of a public environment in the community. In this study, an index evaluation weight system is established to clarify the best approach to constructing an aging-friendly community public environment in accordance with previous standard specifications. This system can further clarify the scientific method for evaluating aging-friendly public environments built in the past and can serve as a reference for the practical world.

In order to cope with the rapidly aging society and the Chinese traditional idea of old-age care, community home-based care has become a major mode of care for the aged in China, and the construction of communities suitable for the aged has also become the focus of the whole society. In order to build an objective and scientific evaluation index system of communities suitable for aging, the hierarchical structure and relative important values of the indicators for the assessment were obtained through data text rooted coding and the fuzzy Delphi expert questionnaire survey. The results prove that: the evaluation index system of communities suitable for aging consists of 4 criteria (i.e., humanistic care, public environment, health care, and economic security), 14 sub-criteria, and 48 evaluation indexes. The important values of the four criteria are “health care” (7.35), “public environment” (7.18), “humanistic care” (6.92), and “economic security” (6.87). This shows that with the aging of the elderly and the decline of physical function, health care is the most important material basis for community home care, and is also the core criterion for the construction of communities suitable for aging. Of the 48 important values of the evaluation indexes, “setting up an emergency assistance system” (7.89), “ensuring the accessibility of roads” (7.79), and “handling related affairs” (7.60) ranked the highest. This shows that the protection of the physical and mental health of the elderly and the rights and interests of the elderly are the core values of the construction of communities suitable for aging. This study believes that through constructing an evaluation index system of the communities suitable for aging, the past general constructions suitable for aging according to the standard can be further clarified through the scientific procedure of the ‘community suitable for aging construction evaluation method’, and be a reference for the academic and practical fields.

Abstract Objective: To identify strategies used in the oral health care of elderly persons with Alzheimer's disease in the home. Method: an exploratory, descriptive study with a qualitative approach to collecting and analyzing data was performed. Data was collected through interviews with 30 caregivers and analyzed by the content analysis technique. Results: The majority of subjects were female, daughters of the elderly person, university graduates and aged 32-77 years. The strategies identified were grouped into categories according to the participation of the caregiver: does not participate in care actions or oral health assessments; reminds the elderly person about oral hygiene, demonstrates movements and assists with some procedures; directly carries out actions of care. Conclusion: The strategies employed are related to the degree of dependence of the elderly person, as the caregiver acts based on the need for oral health care and the difficulties in carrying out such care.

Aging is a physiological process that leads to both biological and psychological changes. The brain undergoes structural changes as a part of aging. According to the investigator's best knowledge and based on the extensive review, no structured study was conducted in India to test the effectiveness of cognitive training program. Hence, the present study was conducted to test the effectiveness of a home-based training program on select outcomes. A total of 314 elderly participants were recruited for the study after obtaining the written informed consent. After recruiting, the participants were randomly grouped into two groups, that is control and intervention groups, with 157 participants in each group. The intervention was administered to the experimental group. The present study results suggest that the home-based cognitive training program is effective in improving cognitive functions and daily life activities. The study recommends further detailed and multi-centered studies in this area to recommend the implementation of the program in the management of the cognitive impairments of the elderly.

Abstract The patient-experience is an emerging concept in research and medico-social action, and its consideration in the development of care pathways is encouraged (e.g. ’Ma Santé 2020’ national plan in France). In addition, the patient-experience of the elderly subject has specific dimensions and his collection presents difficulties insufficiently explored. PAERPA (elderly people at risk of loss of autonomy), French national experiment for the care of frail elderly patients, offers an opportunity to return to these issues. The objective of this study, mandated by the ARS of Hauts-de-France, was to collect the experience of the elderly PAERPA. Faced with the difficulties of current methodologies, several methodological approaches have been combined: semi-structured individual interviews face-to-face or by telephone, dedicated questionnaire. In addition, a specific grid was developed to explore the home-based patient experience, including seven dimensions of the patient-experience identified in the literature. This study was conducted in the second half of 2018 (3 years and a half of the start of the project). The experience of 43 seniors and / or caregivers was collected. Patients PAERPA are generally satisfied with their care but they have difficulties in making the link between their care and the actors and devices specific to PAEPRA experimentation. Human connection and listening seem essential for the elderly patients included. Other dimensions, such as stakeholder coordination, remain controversial and more difficult to grasp. Methodologically, the particular situation of seniors, such as sensory or memory disorders, requires a major adaptation of the survey tools. In PAERPA, the patient-experience of the frail elderly subject passes mainly through the feeling of a human connection. Current methodologies do not seem fully adapted to collectively capture the experience of frail elderly patients. Key messages Evaluating the patient-experience to improve the health pathway is possible and necessary through a qualitative collection, regularly, in itinere. The peculiarities of older people often require the participation of carers, who need to be involved in the assessment of the patient-experience and raised awareness.

In this study, we implemented a four-stage service design process to analyze the home-based interaction behavior between elderly and other family members to identify hidden needs for strengthening inter-generational relationships and creating harmony as a turning point for new product innovations in home-based interactive devices. In the demand exploration stage and demand definition stage, context inquiry and service modeling were applied to understand the intergenerational relationship between the elderly and other family members and the potential needs and expectations of family interactions. The overall demand mainly includes four points: (1) the improvement in inter-generational relationships requires the active care of family members, (2) the improvement in inter-generational emotional interactions requires accurate mastery of parental responsibilities, (3) the chairing design of the living room can be used to understand and document parental life practice, and (4) big data parental lifestyle records can be analyzed. Based on hidden demands, a smart care interactive system (SCIS) with a chair was designed for improving emotional interactions and parent-child interaction between the elderly and other family members. The results of the verification experiment show that the smart care interactive chair (SCIC) can significantly help the elderly with intergenerational relationships in terms of emotional support and parent-child interactions. The family emotional support and parent-child interactions are the foundation of the sustainability of family relationships and the cornerstone of social stability.
