What is “Aging in Place” in Canada?
Aging in place means living in the home and community you choose, safely, independently, and comfortably — for as long as possible. It’s not just about staying in your house; it’s about staying well where you are.
Canada’s communities, healthcare system, and programs can help you make this choice.
