Peer to peer (P2P) support has been suggested as one community program that may promote aging in place. We sought to understand challenges older adults have maintaining their independence and to identify how P2P support facilitates independence. We completed 17 semi-structured interviews with older adults receiving P2P support in 3 cities in the United States. Study team members coded data using deductive and inductive conventional content analysis. Participants identified declining abilities, difficulties with mobility, and increasing cost of living as challenges to independence. P2P support facilitated independence and provided them with a new friend. The qualitative findings indicate that maintaining independence as an older adult in the United States has many challenges. P2P programs have an important role in helping older adults stay in their home by supporting mobility and promoting social engagement.

“…Economically, providing help with home maintenance or home care is dramatically less expensive than institutional care ( Canadian Institute for Health Information, 2008 ). Moreover, the social and health advantages of aging at home have been extensively documented ( Cutchin, 2003 ; Joosten, 2007 ; Wagnild, 2001 ) and include attachment to place, familiarity with the neighborhood, and the ability to maintain functional health.…”

For healthy and independent older adults, aging in place can be seen as identical to any other adult living at home. Little is known about how frail seniors, particularly those who speak a minority language, manage the challenges of aging in place. The present qualitative descriptive study explores the strategies that Canadian French-speaking seniors have put in place to counter their loss of independence and promote their ability to stay in their home. Semistructured individual interviews were conducted with 39 older adults and transcribed, followed by content analysis to identify common themes related to study objectives. Six themes emerged in response to strategies described for aging in place. Findings reveal the limited extent to which language issues were perceived as a barrier by participants. In conclusion, the results of this study provide us with fruitful insights to guide community nursing practice, future research, and public policy.

Explorer les besoins et le degré de satisfaction des aînés francophones en situation sociolinguistique minoritaire au sein d'une communauté urbaine concernant la problématique du maintien à domicile. MÉTHODE : Une étude de cas de type ethnographique fut réalisée dans une communauté urbaine du Nouveau-Brunswick entre octobre 2010 et juin 2011. Nous avons effectué des entrevues individuelles avec les responsables d'organismes communautaires (n=9) et des groupes de discussion avec des personnes âgées francophones demeurant en contexte sociolinguistique minoritaire (n=19). RÉSULTATS : Les aînés francophones rencontrés nous ont exprimé leur volonté de vieillir chez eux. En revanche, le manque de services et de soutien manifesté par les aînés francophones représente un obstacle au maintien à domicile. En dépit de ces lacunes, les responsables d'organismes communautaires ne prévoient pas modifier leurs services en vue de favoriser l'amélioration de la qualité de vie des aînés. CONCLUSION : Le maintien à domicile pour les aînés francophones en milieu minoritaire requiert des actions concertées issues de la famille, de la communauté et de l'État. Selon la Charte d'Ottawa, le logement constitue une condition préalable à la santé. De plus, le logement et les réseaux sociaux sont des déterminants de la santé. Par conséquent, l'élaboration et la mise en oeuvre d'une politique publique à destination des personnes âgées et, de surcroît, en situation minoritaire nous apparaissent un enjeu fondamental dans un contexte de vieillissement démographique.
