Supporting aging at home with dignity, every step of the way.

At CHATS, we believe aging well at home is possible when communities come together. NORCs are a proven model that fosters social connection, reduces isolation, and integrates health and social supports for older adults. This article highlights how collaboration and innovation can make these models sustainable and scalable.

Congrats to CHATS VP Mario Longo for being published on Longwoods Publishing with his article about "Leveraging Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities (NORCs) to Advance Aging in Place: A Community-Based Model for Ontario."

Read the article here:

Ontario’s aging population is straining long-term care, hospitals and our system. NORCs integrate health, social engagement & navigation in existing housing. They reduce isolation, improve outcomes & delay institutional care. A scalable, cost-effective solution.
