There has been quite a bit of research going on in this field recently.
GoMA in Glasgow have done a great project in 2005 which produced a lovely book. The Photographer's Gallery also did a project with Help the Aged in north London quite a few years ao. Also Sutton House in Hackney, Geffrye Museum and Hackney Building exploratory recently hosted a CPD event about Engaging Elders.
I just stumbled across a research call on the GEM list by T.J.Cox@SALFORD.AC.UK in the same field.
Also have a look at the Our place link attached!
