ALT Polly Duncan presents her research on people who are housebound
ALT Being housebound is seen as a duality
ALT Definition of housebound: housebound is defined as someone who is unable to leave their home or who requires significant assistance to do so. This may be due to illness, frailty, disability, surgery, mental ill health or nearing the end of life.
