Abstract

Aging in place supports are a top priority for seniors and health system administrators alike. However, with a vast range of interventions and stakeholders, the landscape of aging in place supports is difficult for seniors and service providers to navigate. Collecting data and coordinating services is more challenging still. A continuum of care is a planning tool that maps out the spectrum of services for a particular need, enabling better patient navigation and service planning. This research piloted its use for aging in place services by developing a model and applying it to services that support food security for seniors aging at home in St John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.
