Sammanfattning
The aim of this article is to describe the Umeå ageing and health research programme that
explores person-centred care and health-promoting living conditions for an ageing population in
Sweden, and to place this research programme in a national and international context of available
research evidence and trends in aged care policy and practice. Contemporary trends in aged care
policy includes facilitating ageing in place and providing person-centred care across home and aged
care settings, despite limited evidence on how person-centred care can be operationalised in home
care services and sheltered housing accommodation for older people. The Umeå ageing and health
research programme consists of four research projects employing controlled, cross-sectional and
longitudinal designs across ageing in place, sheltered housing, and nursing homes. The research
programme is expected to provide translational knowledge on the structure, content and outcomes of
person-centred care and health-promoting living conditions in home care, sheltered housing models,
and nursing homes for older people and people with dementia.
