Can your neighbourhood change the way you age?

In this episode, we discuss how neighbourhood characteristics, such as how much green space there is, can have a significant impact on older people’s ability to age successfully at home.

We speak to Dr Danielle Taylor, Health Geographer and Postdoctoral Research Fellow.

We learn about:

• what a Health Geographer is
• the challenge of managing the ageing population
• the Healthy Ageing/Vulnerable ENvironment (HAVEN) Index
• predicting death and transition to aged care using the HAVEN Index
