Across Canada, teams are developing and adapting approaches that support older adults to age in the places they call home including helping older adults access timely care, prevent avoidable health crises and better navigate health and social systems.
About this Promising Practice
Home ViVE provides 24/7 in-home care by family physicians and nurse practitioners for older adults living with moderate to severe frailty who cannot access traditional healthcare. By delivering primary care support at home, the program helps older adults remain safely and comfortably in their homes for as long as possible while reducing unnecessary emergency department visits and hospital admissions.

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.
