AFC Webinar – Taking Charge: New models for Aging in Place, Designed by Seniors, for Seniors

Taking Charge: New models for Aging in Place, Designed by Seniors, for Seniors, is a research-through-storytelling project aimed at uncovering grassroots models of seniors’ supportive living that are emerging across Canada and the United States. It employs a lead user approach to explore initiatives that address the issues of aging in place and senior social isolation, and presents a distillation of key insights and emergent principles extracted from ethnographic site visits.

In this webinar you will hear four case studies:

1. Homesharing
2. Seniors cohousing
3. Naturally occurring retirement communities with supportive service program (NORC-SSP)
4. Virtual villages.

Each case study includes audio documentaries of user experiences, and photographic documentation of community life.
