- This paper is an ethnographic study of older peoples' living experiences with assisted living technologies and care services. It stems from the ATHENE project (Assistive Technologies for Healthy Living in Elders: Needs Assessment by Ethnography http://atheneproject.org.uk) and is significant because It employs the concepts of ‘bricolage’, informal care and ‘co-production’ to suggest that successful ‘ageing in place’ is socially and collaboratively accomplished – ‘co-produced’ – day-to-day by the efforts of older people, and their formal and informal networks of carers. It further suggests that design of assistive technologies rarely acknowledges or responds to these realities of ‘aging in place’.
