Across Canada, teams are developing and adapting approaches that supports safe transitions from hospital to home, helping older adults recover, maintain function and avoid readmissions.
About this Promising Practice
The Services to Seniors program helps older adults and their care partners navigate local health and community services. To better understand the supports available locally, the team travelled across the region to map community assets and host ideas fairs. These gatherings brought together residents and community organizations to share knowledge, build on existing strengths and identify new opportunities to support healthy aging in their communities.

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.
