CEISS Visioning Exercise, November 2007

Building for Change: Integration of Seniors Services

On November 21, 2007, seniors, caregivers and health service providers participated in a CEISS visioning exercise. Dr. Paul Williams from the University of Toronto shared best practices and models of care with the attendees as well as his research on the Balance of Care. The North West CCAC is participating in this research, which will help our region understand the options of care that are required for seniors to safely age at home.

This event also included a presentation from the Innovation Centre in Thunder Bay which stimulated thinking about innovative and non-traditional approaches to community development opportunities that can support seniors to age at home in their community.

The outcomes of this visioning exercise will now help frame the Steering Committee’s discussions.
