SYDNEY JONES, BSC
PROJECT MANAGER, YOURCARE+

Sydney Jones is the project manager for YourCare+ (www.yourcareplus.ca), a social prescribing platform for older adults, caregivers, and people living with supportive care needs. YourCare+ is a nationally funded project supported by McMaster University and St. Joseph's Centre for Integrated Care (CIC). It provides free resources and self-referral tools for people receiving or providing care at home or in the community. Sydney joined McMaster as a co-op student in 2018 while she was completing her undergraduate degree in Kinesiology (minor Gerontology) at the University of Waterloo.

Sydney’s areas of interest include healthy aging, caregiver support, and the impacts of exercise on aging. Through her work at McMaster she hopes to continue to develop and test supportive tools for older adults and caregivers living at home and in the community, and to further understand the intersection between formal home and community care and social prescribing care models.
