Aging In Place Research Cluster at UBCO

We acknowledge that UBC Okanagan is located on the traditional, ancestral, and unceded territory of the Syilx (Okanagan) peoples.

The objective of Aging in Place Research Cluster is to support the needs and choice of older adults to age in place through high quality, inter-disciplinary research. This cross-sectoral research group is helping older adults ‘age in place’ or remain in their homes, safely and comfortably, by developing evidence-based, in-home self-management supports and assistive technologies to maintain physical activity, functional independence and social connections. Cluster members are leaders in their field with expertise in aging, neuromuscular and exercise physiology, sensorimotor control, mobility and risk assessments, fall and injury prevention, biomechanics, artificially intelligent monitoring technologies, health psychology, chronic disease prevention, and personalized lifestyle medicine.

1 Week to go until Global Intergenerational Week 2024. Take on the challenge and have some fun!

Time to start thinking about how your team, department, faculty, colleagues, friends and family can celebrate . . . Intergenerational practice creates place pride, where everyone feels that they can contribute to their local community

Intergenerational practice is about more than bringing younger and older people together. It is a systemic approach to community development and wellbeing that recognizes and values the contribution of all generations who live there.
