Nursing home without walls

Nursing Home Without Walls

Most older adults in Canada want to stay in their homes and communities as long as they can. In response to this preference and because long-term care is getting more expensive, policies are now trying to delay or avoid the need for nursing homes. These trends have led to new programs that help people age in place.

Aging at home

Aging in place means that older adults have the health and social services they need to live safely and independently at home or in their community for as long as they want and can

FSSM: Community Care For The Elderly

Nursing Home Without Walls (NHWW) is a flexible and person-centred program that helps older adults age in place by harnessing community and nursing home resources to improve the quality of life for older adults and their care partners. NHWW programs enhance community engagement and access to health and social services to enable aging in place by: 

  • improving quality of life 
  • fostering a sense of community belonging and purpose 
  • increasing support for care partners 
  • reducing unnecessary emergency department visits 
  • supporting a healthy workforce to provide safe and high-quality care
