Investigative Journalist Erica Johnson of CBC's Go Public interviewed the Centre for Hip Health and Mobility's Dr. Joanie Sims-Gould to help shed light on how the quality of home care can vary greatly between regions in British Columbia. Dr. Sims-Gould points out that "what you receive is often based more on where you live than on what you need."
Congratulations to Drs. Heather McKay and Joanie Sims-Gould, recipients of a Peter Wall Institute International Research Roundtable Award

What's in your Caregiver Preparedness Toolkit?
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/caregiver-preparedness-toolkit
With unprecedented population aging combined with reductions in health care services the likelihood of one becoming a caregiver is on the rise. For many of us, it is really not a matter of if we will be a caregiver, but rather when and to what extent.
Helping our parents age in place
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/helping-our-parents-age-in-place
In 2015 a major shift occurred in Canada’s population: for the first time there were more Canadians over the age of 65 than under the age of 15. Currently at 5.8 million, the number of Canadian 65 years of age or older will double in the next 25 years.

Make it Walkable … and Sittable! Lessons from Vancouver’s West End for the new Arbutus Greenway
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/benches-are-like-porches
New research shows that benches make it possible for older adults and vulnerable seniors to get out of their homes more, meet friends, and stay in their homes and communities longer. In short, public benches make neighbourhoods more livable for seniors, improve their health, and increase their social connectedness.

How civic design can promote healthy aging
http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/CivicDesignForAging
For many of us, a walk around the corner or a trip to the store is an effortless fact of daily life. But viewed through the eyes of an older adult with restricted mobility, that same trip can be an intimidating, physically demanding ordeal. Simple details of the urban landscape, such as uneven pavement or crosswalk timing, become harrowing obstacles to those individuals with physical limitations that make walking difficult or induce fear of falling.

http://www.hiphealth.ca/blog/Back-to-the-Future
