Table 6. The facts of progress toward aging in place

Policy goal: Aging in place The fact while implementing Challenges: Main comments from the interviewees
Providing services to local older adults with local resources Able to provide resources required by older adults in social housing, but cannot be considered as providing services to local older adults. Residents in social housing have already moved away from their familiar living environments.
Intergenerational co-creation Not easily accomplished; more time required. Still in the experimental stage.
Mitigating the effects from population aging and the declining birth rate Limited effectiveness of policies. 1. Restrictions on eligibility for social housing.2. The requirements of community classes, compromising older adults’ willingness to participate in the program.3. Rent is still high for those with limited financial means.4. Cap on residency.5. Lack of access to information among older adults.
