360 Living Models: A Blueprint

This Blueprint acts as a guide for reimagining aging in our communities. It is a living document that serves as a framework for communities to consider when designing their own solutions.

The Blueprint was developed as part of our Roadmap for Action, which was identified as a much-needed resource at the COURAGE Summit. It draws from a range of models that integrate housing, health and social supports and can be adapted to the changing needs of diverse rural and urban communities across Canada.

Whether you are incorporating this Blueprint into an existing initiative or starting from the ground up, decisions should be tailored to suit these conditions.
