On August 29, 2011 the Schlegel-UW Research Institute for Aging (RIA) was part of an exciting announcement involving an ambitious partnership between the Ontario government, University of Waterloo, Conestoga College, and the Schlegel Villages to develop a centre of excellence for research, training, and innovation in senior health care. The new centre will be located at the University of Waterloo, including a 192-bed Long Term Care (LTC) home, a specialized building for staff and students to work and learn with residents and staff from the adjacent LTC home. Future developments include assisted living and independent living for seniors as well as a primary care health centre to create a full continuum of care.
