Abstract
This study examines the current state of knowledge of Alzheimer’s disease and the implications for housing concerns of patients and care-givers. The incidence of Alzheimer’S disease is becoming more prevalent with increases in the elderly population, exacerbating environmental problems already faced by the elderly. A model of environmental complexity is used to contrast the levels of need for Alzheimer’s patients with the physically impaired and the cognitively and physically intact elderly. Housing policy implications are also suggested.
