Innovation@Home: Approaches to Successful Aging in Community from 25 Countries

The desire to remain in our homes and communities as we age is felt around the world. As a result, there is a great need for safe, supportive housing (or housing-related services and arrangements) to promote health, prevent injury, delay the need for institutional care, reduce social isolation, and build intergenerational connection and stronger families and communities.

As the global population gets permanently older, housing and housing-related supports must keep pace with this profound demographic change.

Innovation@Home: Approaches to Successful Aging in Community from 25 Countries’, produced in association the WHO, explores innovative approaches to agefriendly housing and neighbourhoods, reflecting the belief that, when it comes to promoting health in ageing, good ideas have no borders.
