Introduction to the Centre of Excellence in Frailty-Informed Care™ (CoE)
Established in 2019, Perley Health Centre of Excellence in Frailty-Informed Care™ aims to set a new benchmark in seniors' care, facilitating applied research that fuels innovation in education, best practices, and knowledge translation. Our goal is to ensure Seniors and Veterans living with frailty receive the highest level of care both within our walls and beyond. The CoE is part of Perley Health, a unique and innovative community of care located on a 25-acre campus adjacent to The Ottawa Hospital. Perley Health is home to approximately 450 residents (many of them Veterans who served overseas) in long-term care, along with approximately 200 seniors in 139 independent-living apartments. Funded by donations to the Perley Health Foundation, the CoE supports Perley Health's mission of excellence in the health, safety and well-being of Seniors and Veterans.
