Title:
Operating Grant: Aging in Place Challenge
Agreement Value:
$99,000.00
Agreement Date:
May 1, 2022 - Apr 30, 2025
Description:
Recent research shows that, if given the choice, over 85% of older Canadians would prefer to age in place within their own homes and communities. The Aging in Place Challenge program aims to support this choice through technology and innovation. The program's objectives focus on improving the quality of life of older adults and their personal caregivers through innovation for safe and healthy aging, supporting a sustainable model for long-term care by shifting focus toward preventive home and community based care. The aim is to enable nursing homes to concentrate on older adults with the highest needs while reducing costs to the Canadian health care system. The program officially launched in April 2021. The nominated principal applicant (NPA) will also be eligible to receive up to $100,000 over a maximum of 3 years from CIHR-IA to support knowledge mobilization and/or community engagement within this program.
