The majority of older couples live alone. \u201cAging in Place\u201d is an initiative that is widely promoted by the government, in which older people are supported to live in their own homes.

Fifteen community\u2010dwelling older participants were interviewed. Four themes emerged from the thematic analysis: (i) maintaining health and mobility; (2) maintaining relationships with spouse; (iii) maintaining relationship with others; and (iv) living the last leg of the race. The older people living on their own were generally content about maintaining their interdependence and complementary roles.
