About this Promising Practice
NetCare Connect at Home is a virtual day program that offers gentle Carefit exercises, bingo and interactive falls prevention education for older adults. These activities help address modifiable factors associated with frailty, including social isolation, reduced physical activity and cognitive decline. By promoting social connection, movement and cognitive stimulation, the program aims to reduce the risk of falls and support healthy aging at home.

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.
