Sue Lantz, B.A. M.P.A, Founder and Managing Director   SueLantz-Bio-2023

I am a boomer who is hoping to live a long and healthy life. Throughout my professional life, I have helped to organize home care, create supportive housing, improve how healthcare services are delivered, and support families who often find themselves in a crisis situation. My passion is sharing my healthcare, housing, and caregiving expertise in a way that helps my peers – and the people who will be supporting them – to envision and fulfil their best possible aging transitions and experiences.

Our Forward Looking Focus 

Collaborative Aging offers educational and consulting services to help individuals, families, and communities, to prepare the way for healthy, empowered aging and balanced caregiving.

We help you discover your own unique way of leading your future planning – while working with others – to shape your own choices and thrive within the community.  We support you to make informed plans and decisions in timely ways, to open up your choices, while also preventing problems before they arise.  We help identify your own key risks, and take actions to reduce these risks, or prevent predictable hardships.  We also help families and groups of people (e.g. neighbours or community organizations) to generate more creative housing based supports and care options!

We collaborate with various delivery organizations (e.g. all types of charities, community groups, businesses, housing operators, levels of government) to provide you with the more appealing housing and supportive services and resources that enable successful aging in the community.

How We Can Help

EDUCATION, POLICY, INNOVATIVE DESIGN

  • Keynote Speaking at conferences/learning events offering inspiring ideas and stories to empower our future of aging, housing, caregiving and healthcare.
  • Podcast, Radio and Television Interviews on various topics of Healthy Aging in the Community (see our “News and Stories” page)
  • The Options Open Guidebook is a workbook style guide to help individuals, family and friend caregivers to make timely and informed choices with the right tools, resources and access to professional experts.  The guide is available in PDF and softcover formats: https://optionsopen.org)
  • Facilitated Workshops (visit our “Workshops” page)
  • Policy and Innovative Design Consulting/Advice including stakeholder consultations and design research.  The type of policy research we do aims at generating more simple, “ahead of the curve” and resourceful (e.g. less costly) ways to meet the current and future housing and healthcare needs of older adults and caregivers.
  • Facilitation and Community-based Planning with networks of seniors, caregivers, community or faith-based groups, healthcare providers, housing developers and/or technology companies co-create new opportunities and solutions for successful aging.
