The Care + Dementia in Suburbs research project is currently in progress. We will update this page as work becomes available. You can also check out our Blog for project updates!
In addition to the Care + Dementia in Suburbs project, members of the Research and Advisory Teams have completed research closely related to care, dementia, urban planning, design, accessibility, older adults and suburbs. We have linked a selection of podcasts, journal articles and other reports for you below. For a full list of publications, see the Team Profiles.
