Who We Are

The CIRA office is housed within the sprawling York Care Centre campus, New Brunswick's largest long-term care facility. Since CIRA's incorporation in the spring of 2018, CIRA has received several research funding grants and has fostered research collaborations with stakeholders, researchers and academics from across Canada. To date, our research has spanned many topics that impact older-adults including medication management, emotional well-being, physical health, safety, and cognitive ability.

Our mission is to increase involvement in research activities that focus on promoting and improving the social, emotional and physical well-being of seniors. We want to foster relationships with researchers, stakeholders, and members of the community. We aim to promote and support the translation and transfer of research outcomes, new knowledge and innovation for the betterment of the aging population.

What We Do

We conduct research that enriches the lives of older-adults in the community, residents living in long-term care, staff, and family members.
