Empowerment is a means by which individuals can emancipate. It occurs when individuals identify what is important to them, their challenges and their resources; build the conditions of support and alliances necessary to achieve their goals; and express themselves on their experience of change. This approach would be useful when accompanying seniors who need home support. A scoping review on this topic was conducted. Arksey and O’Malley’s (2005) methodological framework was used to understand how this approach is designed and applied in the context of home support. Of 648 articles found in seven databases, nine proved relevant. It emerged from the studies reviewed that few researchers explored empowerment in this context. However, it also emerged that it is important to consider the needs of seniors, their resources, the barriers they face, and their own understanding of their experience of change. The findings suggest that more research is needed to improve the effectiveness of interventions and that such research should be conducted in collaboration with the target population.
