About Us
The Juravinski Integrated Residential Care Initiative is a three-year collaborative research project in Hamilton, Ontario, funded by the Juravinski Research Institute.
This initiative brings together the expertise and lived experience of those who support, live, and work in residential care facilities with the goal of improving equitable access to health and social care for residents of subsidized residential care facilities (RCFs).
“This project embodies what community-engaged research means to me. RCFs matter to the people who call them home, to the staff who show up every day, and to the health of our city. The challenges are real, but so are the opportunities for transformative, lasting change—if we face them together as a system.”
— Dr. Chi-Ling Joanna Sinn, Initiative Co-Lead
