Neighbourhood-based Programs for Older Adults: The Seniors’ Satellite

We collaborated with the City of London to evaluate a new Seniors’ Satellite. Seniors’ Satellites operate in several locations in London, offering neighbourhood-based social and recreation programs once per week. Our study was funded by the Ontario Sport and Recreation Communities Fund involved a pre-test/post test design and qualitative interviews. We found many benefits of this model.
