Answer:
As homes increasingly become the places for health care delivery and self-management, the intertwined effects of multiple environments (physical, social/cultural, community, and policy) on the well-being of care recipients and caregivers are more visible (Wahl et al., 2009). Managing health care at home is a challenge confronted by many people, including older persons, children, and younger adults with disabilities, who are especially vulnerable to their environments. This is also true for people with low incomes, multiple chronic illnesses, limited social supports, and health disparities as well as those who live in unsafe neighborhoods or poor-quality housing. A majority of vulnerable individuals do not receive effective health care for their chronic illnesses and live in housing that does not support their independence or functioning.
Without accessible and supportive housing, the options for delivery of health care in the home are limited. This chapter discusses the environmental factors that impact health care at home, with the intent of exploring how residents, health professionals, and policy makers can work together to improve environments that support better health. The lens of human factors considers the relationships among individuals, the tasks they perform, and the environment, offering a systems perspective to understand how the home environment can better support health care.
