Fondation AGES-Ajouter de la vie aux années

What Fondation AGES-Ajouter de la vie aux années does

Fondation AGES-Ajouter de la vie aux années is a Quebec-based charitable foundation (registered charity No. 809084999 RR 0001) operating a community-based social geriatrics model to address aging-related challenges among elderly Quebecers. Headquartered at 155 boulevard Charest Est in Québec City with a team of 9 employees, the foundation operates exclusively in Quebec and structures its work around four programmatic pillars: (1) territorial social geriatrics teams deployed in communities that have adopted the model, (2) the LISA (Laboratoire d'Innovation en Santé des Ainés) innovation laboratory, (3) the Agir pour bien vieillir information platform, and (4) the HABITATS social participation program. Supporting initiatives include the NutriAges project (a multi-stakeholder malnutrition intervention involving nutritionists, doctors, community organizations, and social geriatrics teams) and the free asynchronous Sentinelles en gériatrie sociale training program delivered via Microsoft Teams.

The foundation's core technology is the social geriatrics methodological approach itself — a non-clinical, community-based framework emphasizing proximity, prevention, and social participation, rather than a software platform. Information and content are delivered through a website (geriatriesociale.org), a content library of tools, documents, video capsules, and health chronicles, the agirpourbienvieillir.com platform, and event programming including the Marche Agissons ensemble pour le mieux-être des aînés (October 1, 2026). Recent visibility includes a Radio-Canada L'épicerie reportage (October 15, 2025) on elderly malnutrition, and the PLS Impact en santé préventive award (2026) received for Agir pour bien vieillir.

The business model is donation-based: the foundation generates revenue exclusively through charitable contributions solicited via a 'Je donne' button on its website, with no paid training, membership fees, or fee-for-service programs (all programs and training, including Sentinelles formation, are free). Marketing is conducted through Facebook, LinkedIn, an email newsletter (infolettre), and earned media. No funding rounds, M&A activity, or institutional capital are disclosed.

Core offering

Fondation AGES deploys community-based social geriatrics programs that accompany elderly persons and the territories that adopt its model. Its core offerings include territorial social geriatrics teams providing proximity accompaniment, the LISA innovation laboratory developing community-based solutions, the NutriAges nutritional intervention project, the HABITATS social participation program, the Agir pour bien vieillir information platform, and the free asynchronous Sentinelles en gériatrie sociale training program.

Product overview

Fondation AGES is a non-profit foundation organized around a social geriatrics model. Its portfolio consists of four pillars: territorial social geriatrics teams that deploy the model in communities, the LISA innovation laboratory that develops new solutions, the Agir pour bien vieillir information platform that supports elderly individuals in their aging journey, and the HABITATS program that strengthens social participation. Supporting these pillars are programs such as NutriAges for nutritional health, a Sentinelles en gériatrie sociale training module (offered asynchronously online), and a publications/events library. The organization functions as a non-profit foundation rather than a technology product company, with no unified software platform — its offerings are service, training, and knowledge-delivery programs.

Scale indicators4 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Others

• CISSS de Chaudière-Appalaches: Quebec health and social services network that funds and partners with community organizations serving seniors. Comparable because it is the institutional counterpart to Fondation AGES' territorial work and a likely partner/funder for social geriatrics teams in participating regions.

Direct peers

• Regroupement des aidants naturels du Québec (RANQ): Quebec association coordinating community-based caregiver support services across the province. Directly comparable because of its Quebec-wide territorial network model, training programs for community actors, and emphasis on accompaniment — closely matching Fondation AGES' territorial team approach.
• HelpAge Canada: National Canadian non-profit dedicated to improving the lives of seniors through community programs, advocacy, and partnerships. Comparable mission and non-profit donor model serving Canadian elderly populations, but at national rather than provincial scope.
• L'Appui pour les proches aidants: Quebec non-profit providing resources, training, and support to caregivers of elderly persons. Highly comparable because it operates a province-wide community-based support model for seniors and their entourage, with similar information/training offerings (Sentinelles-like) and the same donor-funded structure.
• Société Alzheimer de Montréal / Société Alzheimer du Québec: Quebec Alzheimer societies deliver community-based programs, training, and information resources for seniors and caregivers. Comparable mission (community support, training, awareness) and similar non-profit structure targeting Quebec elderly populations, though disease-specific.
• FADOQ - Le réseau de l'âge d'or du Québec: Quebec federation serving people 50+ through community activities, advocacy, and services. Comparable because it is a Quebec-wide, membership/community-based organization focused on aging well, with overlapping priorities on social participation and community engagement that mirror Fondation AGES' HABITATS and Agir pour bien vieillir pillars.
• Little Brothers - Friends of the Elderly (Quebec): Quebec non-profit dedicated to combating isolation of seniors through community accompaniment and volunteer visits. Closely comparable mission (combating isolation, community accompaniment of elderly) and Quebec territorial presence, with a similar volunteer/partnership-driven operating model.

Broad incumbents

• CARP (Canadian Association of Retired Persons): Large national advocacy and membership organization for older Canadians. Comparable audience and aging-well advocacy agenda, but operates at a much broader scale and is not Quebec-specific; functions more as an incumbent advocacy body than a community-program operator.

Regional players

• Centre intégré universitaire de santé et de services sociaux (CIUSSS) de la Capitale-Nationale: Public health and social services authority covering the Quebec City region, including home support and elderly services. Comparable because it is a key regional partner/funding counterparty for Fondation AGES, though it operates clinical and public services rather than community-led social geriatrics.
• Les Petits Frères des Pauvres (France): French non-profit focused on accompaniment of isolated elderly persons through community volunteer networks. Highly comparable model (community accompaniment, volunteer safety nets, non-clinical) but operates in France rather than Quebec — relevant as a methodological peer and possible franchising reference.
