The event was attended by approximately 30 people, primarily older adults from Retirement Concepts independent living residences, as well as participants from academic research, industry, and residential care. The AAL-WELL project is an international, transdisciplinary research project investigating how to design technology that better supports older adults with mild cognitive impairment (such as memory issues) to live well. It includes researchers from four universities: Simon Fraser University, University of Toronto, University of Sheffield (UK), and Karolinska Institutet (Sweden). The event was an opportunity for project members to present some of the work they have engaged in over the past two years, as well as share some of their findings. It was also an opportunity to ask key questions to the participants attending the event in order to generate discussion and receive feedback.
The discussion groups were presented with three questions: 1) Would you live in a smart home?, 2) How could technology support participation in activities outside the home?, and 3) How would you prefer to be involved in setting up supportive technology? The event provoked a great deal of discussion, with many different perspectives, opinions, and experiences shared in lively conversation. It was a good example of the value of building relationships between researchers and community partners. The AAL-WELL project members were able to present their ideas and discoveries to a diverse audience, while the community participants were able to have their voices heard and provide feedback to guide future stages of research. In the end, the high quality of insight generated through this knowledge café further cemented our belief that community outreach is a core part of being a truly engaged university.1.2 TUNGSTEN KITE Research Institute at University Health Network, Simon Fraser University, Ontario Shores Centre for Mental Health Sciences, University of Toronto KTEE - Knowledge Mobilization 2015-09-24 Piper Jackson,

Although moving from institutional to home-like long-term care (LTC) settings can promote and sustain the health and wellbeing of older adults, there has been little research examining how home is perceived by older adults when moving between care settings. A qualitative study was conducted over a two-year period during the relocation of residents and staff from an institutional LTC home to a purpose-built LTC home in Western Canada. The study explored perceptions of home amongst residents, family members and staff. Accordingly, 210 semi-structured interviews were conducted at five time-points with 35 residents, 23 family members and 81 staff. Thematic analyses generated four superordinate themes that are suggestive of how to create and enhance a sense of home in LTC settings: (a) physical environment features; (b) privacy and personalisation; (c) autonomy, choice and flexibility; and (d) connectedness and togetherness. The findings reveal that the physical environment features are foundational for the emergence of social and personal meanings associated with a sense of home, and highlight the impact of care practices on the sense of home when the workplace becomes a home. In addition, tension that arises between providing care and creating a home-like environment in LTC settings is discussed.Other, AWNIH-DHC University of Dundee, Simon Fraser University, KITE Research Institute at University Health Network Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge 2019-01-09 Other, AWNIH-DHC Silver economy offers business opportunities, SFU aging expert says Lazaruk, S.

Governments in developed countries have responded by increasing the retirement age as a strategy for overcoming the fall in labour supply. Using bibliometric techniques, we reviewed 122 articles published between 1990 and 2018 to examine the effectiveness of the strategy in addressing the labour shortages and, in particular, to identify the factors that contribute positively to maintaining worker participation within an ageing workforce at an organizational level. The results identified five organizational factors that support continued participation: health, institutions, human resource management, human capital and technology tools. Employers will increasingly need to develop “age-friendly” workplaces and practices if they are to recruit and retain older workers.Other Simon Fraser University, KITE Research Institute at University Health Network Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge 2019-03-23 Other The impacts of long-term care home relocations on residents’ health and well-being Other, CC3 T-WORK Research University of Dundee, Simon Fraser University, KITE Research Institute at University Health Network Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge 2019-05-24 Other, CC3 T-WORK Research Agentic experiences within structures of long-term care: implications for research and practice Other, CC3 T-WORK Research Simon Fraser University, University of Dundee, KITE Research Institute at University Health Network Scientific Excellence - Advancing Knowledge 2019-05-24 Other, CC3 T-WORK Research Institutional dynamics and agentic experiences within long-term care: implications for research and practice Background/Objectives: Gidden's theory of structuration suggests that power exercised on human agents is determined by social, cultural, and infrastructural forces that predict an individual's agentic ability to exercise autonomy and wield control in situations and/or places. Informed by notions of the duality of structure, this research aimed to understand the physical, social and cultural structures of a purpose-built long-term care (LTC) expansion designed with the intent of providing more ‘home-like' care. Methods: A qualitative interview study was conducted to explore staff members' (e.g. nurses, care aides, management) experiences of agency, as they navigate social, physical and cultural structures during a two-year LTC interinstitutional relocation process. In-depth interviews were conducted with 82 staff members of Oak Creek LTC at five time-points over the course of the relocation (pre-move, post-move, 6, 12 and 18 months). Results: Team-based thematic analysis of the data was undertaken and the findings identified the importance of staff agency across multiple structural layers: physicality of place, institutional policies and practices, and normative socio-cultural behaviours and practices, which ultimately shape workplace identity and one's ability to provide optimal care to residents. Conclusions: Within the institutional context of LTC, staff members' agency is determined by the: physical structure of the building, policies defined by decision-makers of the institution, established organizational work culture as well as socially accepted workplace behaviours and practices. Applying principles that stem from the theory of structuration can challenge researchers, planners, developers to consider the impact of structures on individual agency when designing and developing LTC facilities.

Many researchers find this difficult because they generally write for fellow subject specialists or academics. The Transdisciplinary Working (CC3) team therefore organized two lay-summary co-creation workshops for the AGE-WELL network. These workshops were designed to help researchers co-develop their project lay-summaries with stakeholders; and to develop guidelines for lay-summary co-creation for AGE-WELL researchers. Our poster presents the co-creation protocol and feedback from the researchers and other stakeholders about their experiences with the co-creation process. Following an analysis of the workshops, we developed a set of guidelines that suggest 1) stakeholders need to be informed about the goals and expectations of the co-creation process; and 2) facilitators need to be skilled enough to navigate the negotiation process and subsequently integrate stakeholders’ and researchers’ perspectives into the lay-summary of a project.
