Research Interests
My research focuses on interactions between people and their built environment with special emphasis on housing, sociocultural factors, homecare, gender issues and family dynamics as they relate to aging in place and active aging for older adults. My current scholarly work explores social and behavioral factors associated with acceptance and use of communication and monitoring technology in the home and the role they play in fostering aging in place. I am also working on a project related to environment behavior issues in acute care environments.
