As people live longer and healthier lives than previous generations, the ageing population continues to grow. By 2052, nearly a quarter of Canadians—24.9%—could be 65 years or older.
Most older Canadians express a strong desire to age in place, staying in their homes and communities. A 2020 survey revealed that 96% of Canadians aged 65 and older would do everything possible to avoid transitioning to long-term care facilities. While some individuals can achieve this with the right support, others may need to move to congregate or institutional living settings.
Tune into our latest ComForConnections episode, where we’ll delve into the challenges and opportunities for ageing in place, focusing on how fall risk prevention strategies can help seniors thrive in the comfort and safety of their homes.
