Abstract
This is a report on the first study of long-range effects of improved housing upon old people. At the end of 8 years, as well as 1, tenants of housing designed for the elderly were well satisfied. The primary determinants of their satisfaction were good qualities of the physical environment. While well satisfied with their own milieu and reluctant to criticize it, tenants were forthcoming with suggestions for improving future facilities. Moreover, they immediately noted and continued to report that certain design features, especially included to facilitate living for the elderly, proved to be unusually inconvenient for them.
