Welcome to the Centre for Ageing and Pastoral Studies (CAPS)

CAPS is a centre where scholarship in ageing and pastoral studies can be pursued. The process of ageing is examined within the context of meaning in life and wellbeing for ageing. Quality of life issues for older people, including living with dementia, are subjects for research and education.

An integral part of the Centre's work, based on its research, is to speak on ethical and policy issues relating to ageing.
