International Association of Homes and Services for the Ageing (IAHSA)
IAHSA was founded in 1994 by an international group of leaders who realized
that the global ageing crisis would have a
profound impact on our earth's elders. Their vision was to create a platform for policymakers, researchers, business
and ageing services providers to collectively share their knowledge and best
practices to enhance quality of care for the elderly. Over the years IAHSA has created an international forum for the exchange of
research, services, products and training that make up the Global Ageing
Network. Learn more.
