The NORC Innovation Centre (NIC) is based at the University Health Network in Toronto, Canada. It is dedicated to improving health and social care for older adults living in naturally occurring retirement communities (NORCs). These communities typically consist of residential areas where at least 30% of the residents are aged 65 or older.
NIC enhances the quality of life for older adults by integrating health, social, and physical support within their communities. Key services include providing tailored healthcare and social services, fostering community engagement through NORC ambassadors, and encouraging older adults to co-design the services they need. The centre also offers virtual care options to improve accessibility. Additionally, NIC develops innovative models and technologies to support aging in place, focusing on community needs and international best practices.
The centre collaborates with various partners, including the University Health Network and UHN OpenLab, to advance its mission and pilot new approaches for supporting NORC communities.
