Project CARE Update 4

Project CARE is progressing steadily. To date, Saskatchewan completed 17 interviews, including 14 older adults and 3 key informants. Ontario completed 2 interviews: 1 key informant and 1 older adult. Alberta completed 1 older adult interview. Saskatchewan and Ontario scheduled both 3 additional interviews.

Alberta expanded their recruitment reach for older adults by, for example, publishing the research study information in several newsletters in Calgary, Canmore and Edmonton. Ontario will start distributing posters and postcards.

Most of the current total of 20 interviews have been transcribed. The research assistants are excited to start reading them and getting a first glimpse of information.

As the Project Team is aiming to provide policy makers and healthcare providers strategies to enhance the quality of life of older adults, ensuring dignity and support through aging and end-of-life processes, we would like to hear from you!

If you are over 60 years old and have one chronic condition or you work with older adults in the care planning/end-of-life space, we welcome you to reach out to us at endoflife.converstions@uregina.ca if you wish to the full project information form!
