AFC Webinar – Taking Charge: New models for Aging in Place, Designed by Seniors, for Seniors
June 14, 2018 @ 12:00 pm - 1:00 pm
FreeDescription
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.
