Simon Fraser University Graduate Students Rachelle Patille, Cari Randa, and Boah Kim share their research on intergenerational connections, dementia-friendly communities, and the roles of informal caregivers for older adults.

 

Meet Our Presenters:

Rachelle Patille 

Rachelle is a third-year Gerontology Graduate Student at SFU who’s research focuses on the impact of intergenerational connections and relationships on older adults in a society that is segregated by age and divided generationally. She has been involved in the InterGenNS Project [Intergenerational North Shore Project] since the summer of 2020 which aims to better understand, develop, sustain, and expand intergenerational opportunities in the context of British Columbia. Rachelle experienced amazing intergenerational relationships growing up and is passionate about the benefits these programs can bring to individuals and the community. She has previous experience in the public health and community health sectors with a specific focus on older adults’ social health and well-being.

 

Cari Randa 

Cari is a third year Master’s student in the Department of Gerontology at Simon Fraser University.  Cari is project manager for the Public Health Agency of Canada-funded research project titled Dementia-inclusive Streets and Community Access, Participation, and Engagement (DemSCAPE).  Through innovative use of videography and walk-along interviews with people living in the community with dementia, this study aims to identify common neighbourhood destinations and built environmental features that affect mobility, engagement and participation. The purpose of this research is to generate evidence-based knowledge, tools, and resources for informing policy and practice with the goal to develop dementia-friendly communities (DFCs).  
To learn more about DemSCAPE, please visit the project website.
