The Dr. Barrie Strafford Centre for Learning, Innovation, and Quality has completed an in-depth exploration into how integrated housing models can support older adults experiencing mistreatment by bringing together housing, health, and community-based supports in more coordinated ways.
The summary emphasizes that as aging populations grow and housing needs become more complex, there is increasing importance in designing environments that go beyond accommodation alone. It highlights approaches that intentionally connect housing with supports such as healthcare access, social services, and community connection to better respond to safety, wellbeing, and quality of life needs.
A key focus of the work is the idea of “aging in community,” where housing is not viewed in isolation, but as part of a broader system of supports that helps older adults remain connected, supported, and able to live with dignity. It also points to emerging models that prioritize accessibility, collaboration across sectors, and flexible support tailored to individual needs.
The summary further reflects on how integrated approaches can help reduce fragmentation in services for older adults who may be experiencing vulnerability or mistreatment, supporting more responsive and coordinated pathways to care and safety.
