Our team has local, national and international partnerships continuing the further development and impact of research to support the care of older adults.
Links to our partner research team in Saskatchewan, Canada are here. They have formed the Long-term care Network of researchers of which we are a part. Together we are researching several projects across borders harnessing the power of collaboration to improve care for older adults:
