About the webinar

The experience of problem gambling is unique to different groups. Older adults, in particular, frequently engage in gambling as a leisure activity. However, this may increase their risk of developing problem gambling. Various factors play a role in making older adults particularly vulnerable to problem gambling.

A naturally occurring retirement community (NORC) is a regular residential building that has naturally become home to a high density of older adults. Could NORCs help older adults age in place? And, if so, how?

In this webinar, you will learn about:

• NORCs and NORC support programs
• how NORC programs impact aging in place
• the University Health Network’s NORC Innovation Centre and NORC Program.
