Abstract
Time and space significantly affect the autonomy and the care needs of people. In recent years, many countries have adopted an ageing in place strategy, which requires, however, an age-friendly built environment and a dedicated care system. This paper addresses the conditioning role of the built environment on the life of frail older people ageing alone at home. After a brief review of the debate, findings from the IN-AGE research carried out in three regions of Italy are presented, to conclude with some policy suggestions.
