TAKING CHARGE: Participatory Models of Aging in Place, Designed by Seniors, for Seniors

resource image

Aging Well is an exploratory research project aimed at uncovering grassroots models of seniors’ supportive living that are emerging across Canada and the United States. The research takes a lead user approach to explore and describe new models of senior living and supportive care. It seeks to find emergent patterns amongst grassroots initiatives,
and to provide a distillation of insights that these groups are employing in their quest to age well in community. Ethnographic case studies of four grassroots models are presented:
1. Homesharing, 2. Senior Cohousing, 3. Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities with Social Service Program (NORC-SSP), and 4. Virtual Villages.
