Understanding psychosocial aging requires attention to the individual's needs rather than treating all older adults the same. One method focuses on the relation between the person and the environment.

The Prompt

How would the competence-environmental press framework apply specifically to the various types of housing and nursing homes discussed in this section. Please provide specific examples including information related to physical, cognitive and socioemotional development.
