Kavanagh and A. Hubley – Supporting Aging in Place through Naturally Occurring Retirement Communities;” BE IT FURTHER RESOLVED THAT the following paragraph in the “Discussion” section of the report be amended as follows: The first Ottawa Oasis project in the Ambleside Naturally Occurring Retirement Community is supported by a collaboration between the residents of Ambleside Condominiums, Queen’s University as the funders and researchers, Olde Forge Community Resource Centre as the on-site program provider and The Council on Aging of Ottawa as the advocate/champion. Since its inception in 2023, the program has demonstrated positive outcomes in social connection, nutrition, mental health and physical fitness, thereby supporting many older adults to age at home. The project has also provided access to community health supports for older adults without a primary physician. The success of the project has resulted in reduction in emergency room visits since has been implemented.
