Older people generally prefer to ‘stay-put\u27 in their own homes. Informed by the Seven Dimensions of Wellness, a component of the International Council on Active Ageing (ICAA) Model, measures of physical function (i.e. physical), fall risk (i.e. environmental), and psychosocial factors (i.e. emotional, spiritual and social) related to wellbeing were selected. It is assumed that they intersect to influence the health-seeking behaviour of older adults ageing-at-home. The primary objective of this cross-sectional design study was to investigate the relationship among dimensions of well-being, including physical function, fall risk, psychosocial factors, and awareness of community support services, with health-seeking behaviour in community-dwelling older adults. The secondary objective was to determine if there was a difference(s) in health-seeking behaviour between men and women or between age groups, i.e. less than 75 years old, and 75 years and older. A sample of 99 older adults living independently at home in the city of London, ON, aged ≥ 65 years, ambulatory (with/without gait aid) and without executive function impairment were recruited. Data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. No significant relationship was found between health-seeking behaviour and the five factors grounded in the Seven Dimensions of Wellness. Health-seeking behaviour had a significant positive relationship with the awareness of community support services. No difference in health-seeking behaviour was found between men and women or between age groups, i.e. less than 75 years old, and 75 years and older
