Age-related declines in capabilities may compromise older adults’ ability to maintain their homes thus threatening successful aging in place. Structured interviews were conducted with forty-four independently living older adults (Mage = 76.1, SD = 4.7) to discuss difficult home maintenance tasks and how they managed those tasks. Solutions to managing difficulties were categorized as person-related or environment-related. The majority (85%) of responses were person-related solutions. An understanding of the specific challenges that older adults face in maintaining their homes can guide redesign efforts and interventions to effectively support older adults’ desire to age in place.
