Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging Foundation

The Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging Foundation will conduct a needs assessment for the purpose of developing a model wherein frontline workers in long term care and retirement homes will assist older adults that live in its residences with their legal issues. This can include identifying legal issues, providing legal information, assisting in navigating the legal system, and assisting with completion of legal forms. This is a joint initiative of the Institute and Schlegel Villages, and will be done in partnership with the University of Waterloo, and Conestoga College.
