Enabling Aging in Place
Through the Enabling Aging in Place collaborative, 26 health and social service organizations worked alongside older adults, care partners and community partners to strengthen locally grounded, person-centred approaches shaped by lived experience and real-world conditions. Together, they advanced practical ways to bring care closer to home and support people to live safely and well in their communities.
