New report: The NIA and @NORCCentre at @UHN take a close look at Naturally Occurring Retirement Community programs — a model that can help more older adults Age in the Right Place — and what it would take to develop more of them across Canada. nia-ryerson.ca/norc #NORCs
Naturally Occurring Retirement Community (NORC) programs often integrate health, social and physical supports directly within the community to make it easier to enable ageing in the right place.
