Links to knowledge about older people

The Hartford Organization has evidence based practical information about a large range of topics related to working with older people. Their “try this” topics are often only one or two pages using a nursing lens. Click here to access their website.

We recommend the atypical presentation of illness “try this” topic.

Alberta Health Services has a number of information related to working with older people that is available. We have included easy links to topics that may be of interest.

National Initiative for Care of the Elderly (NICE) is another Canadian website that offers evidence based information.

A great Canadian textbook we recommend is: Touhy, T.A., Jett, K.F., Boscart, V., & McCleary, L. (2019). Ebersole and Hess’ Gerontological Nursing and Healthy Aging (2nd C). Milton, Ontario: Elsevier.
