University-Integrated Seniors Village
Trent is advancing research on healthy aging and helping reduce the long waitlist for aged care in Peterborough through implementation of a University-Integrated Seniors Village, anchored by a long-term care home.
Location, location, location
The Seniors Village will be located at the north-west corner of Water Street and Woodland Drive. Already connected to municipal servicing and transit, this location surrounds the Seniors Village with nature and offers quick connection to the campus.
A mission-driven project
Building on Trent’s reputation as a globally recognized age-friendly university and the research expertise in the Trent Centre for Aging & Society, the Seniors Village will provide hands-on learning opportunities for students, advance research into aging, while answering the call for more long-term care beds in Peterborough.
Introducing the Plan
Partnering with peopleCare Communities
peopleCare's vision is to change the world of seniors living through innovation and leading practices, embedding research into everything they do, delivering quality, resident-focused care, and operational excellence.
peopleCare has been selected to build and operate the 224-bed not-for-profit long-term care home. This partnership includes unique research and teaching opportunities to help develop and implement promising practices in long-term care, and create experiential learning placements for students in programs like nursing, kinesiology, social work, business, sustainable agriculture and education.
