Fostering Emotional and Mental RESILIENCY
Ageing at Home: A Preferred Choice for Canadians
A staggering 96% of Canadians express a desire to age at home and live independently for as long as possible, as per a survey conducted by the CMA and the National Institute of Ageing. This sentiment is echoed in another study by Ipsos, revealing that 95% of Canadians aged 45 and above believe ageing in place is key to maintaining their independence, comfort, and dignity.
The Role of Resiliency in Ageing
Resiliency, encompassing physical, emotional, environmental, financial, and health-related adaptabilities, is pivotal in enabling seniors to age comfortably in their own homes. It's about adapting to ageing's inevitable changes and maintaining a level of independence.
The Challenge of Social Isolation
About 30% of Canadian seniors are at risk of social isolation. Statistics Canada reports that up to 24% of those over 65 feel disconnected and crave more social engagement. Loneliness and social isolation diminish the quality of life and have independent impacts on health.
