Areas of Research

Models of Care

We have been working with clinicians, policy decision makers, and persons with lived experience to understand, develop and evaluate models of care (such as transitional care) that are person-centred, effective and appropriate for older adults in multiple settings.

We have been working with a team of researchers focused on optimizing the long-term care (LTC) home workforce.

Optimization of the Workforce

Hearing and Vision Screening in Long-term Care

We have been working to understand how to conduct hearing and vision screening in Long-term care (LTC) homes, especially in those residents with cognitive impairment.

We have been working with a team of researchers and knowledge users (Ontario Association of Residents’ Councils, Family Councils Ontario and Behavioural Supports Ontario) to summarize research on the health impacts of social connection for LTC residents and strategies to build and maintain social connection during COVID-19. 

Social Connection

Lived Experience

We are co-leading a new Canadian Consortium on Neurodegeneration in Aging (CCNA) program: Engagement of People with Lived Experience of Dementia (EPLED).
