The ACTing Collectively proof-of-concept project examined the needs of community-living older adults in Nova Scotia and the resources available to support them. The project was in partnership with Richmond County, Victoria County, and the Cape Breton Regional Municipality.
Adults, 65 years and older, were invited to take part in a one-hour conversation with a trained Assessor.
During the conversation, Assessors asked participants about:
● their daily life and activities,
● the resources they use, and
● the resources they could use.
After the conversation, individuals were given a list of local resources related to their needs.
Information from these conversations were analyzed and summarized. The findings were shared with the local communities and provincial government. The information will help communities identify and plan for local resources to help older adults in Cape Breton age well at home.
