Sector Report Highlight: Aging in Place in Canada

Published by Canada’s Drug Agency (CDA-AMC) 

This national evidence review explores the barriers and enablers to aging in place across Canada. While the report doesn’t specifically mention hospice or palliative care, its themes strongly reinforce the importance of community-based, integrated, and person-centred supports, the very principles at the heart of hospice society work.

Key findings include:

  • Limited access to home-based health services, especially in rural and remote communities

  • Increased social isolation among older adults

  • The need for caregiver support and coordinated care systems

  • The role of local, culturally appropriate services in enabling people to age safely and meaningfully at home

Why this matters for us:
Hospice societies are already filling many of these gaps, supporting isolated seniors, providing non-clinical grief care, and easing the strain on families. This report offers a valuable policy lens to position hospice work as essential to the aging-in-place strategy.

The BC Hospice Palliative Care Association (BCHPCA) recognizes the traditional land of the First Nations, Métis and Inuit peoples who have walked before us and minded the lands we now call home for time immemorial. Hospice Societies have been able to support, aid and care for many people on these same lands.

The BCHPCA Offices are located on the ancestral, traditional, and unceded lands of the Coast Salish Peoples, including the territories of the Musqueam, Squamish, and TsleilWaututh Nations.
