KINDER RETIREMENT COMMUNITIES

The kinder communities project brings together researchers, funders, and housing providers to develop research that helps improve the wellbeing of people moving to, and living in retirement communities. We are conducting a series of studies to better understand the experience of living in a retirement community setting and working alongside residents and staff to co-create ways to make retirement communities more supportive, inclusive and kinder.
