Ageing in the Right Place Series

Supporting more older Canadians to age in their own homes and communities for as long as possible, commonly referred to as “ageing in place,” will be essential to better caring for Canada’s ageing population. Yet doing so effectively requires more responsive systems and services that allow for what the National Institute on Ageing calls Ageing in the Right Place: “The process of enabling healthy ageing in the most appropriate setting based on an older person’s personal preferences, circumstances and care needs.” This ground-breaking research series presents a practical framework to understand what ageing in the right place (AIRP) is and what is required to make it work, and highlights existing best practices and new opportunities that can reduce unnecessary LTC home admissions and better support the implementation of successful AIRP policies and programs across Canada and beyond.
