What if strength, balance and mobility were treated as a routine part of healthy aging rather than something we address only after a fall or health crisis? Jocelyn Rempel, an associate professor of nursing at Mount Royal University and co-founder of RISE Care, says the program grew out of their work providing health-focused support in the home.
