This has prompted the need to advance academic discourse beyond simply reporting highlevels of satisfaction in older adult’s housing surveys. This studyattempts to achieve this by using empirical data gatheredthrough a mixed quantitative and qualitative research approachconducted with older adults in Slovenia. While the quantitativesurvey revealed generally high levels of satisfaction, the qualitative face-to-face interviews revealed numerous deficiencies,irrespective of whether older adults tended to express satisfaction with their dwellings. Therefore, our findings suggest thatattributes such as ownership, period of residence, and neighborhood relations are far more important in determining housing satisfaction. Thus, we conclude that policies and programsfor modifying housing for older adults must be based ona deeper understanding of their specific needs. During thepolicy formulation process and the implementation of specifichousing improvement programs, emphasis should be placed onthe social-historical aspects related to the lifestyle of each specific older adult.20252024-12-16 11:21:52Članek v reviji165965UDK: 712ISSN pri članku: 1545-0821DOI: 10.1080/08959420.2024.2422668COBISS_ID: 213717507sl
