Nuverz is a Miami-based company focused on developing content and solutions to help older adults live longer and independent lives.[1]
The company’s stated mission is to fight the "infantilization of older adults" and the "medicalization of their homes."[2]
According to Diario de Las Americas, the company is part of the growing Aging in Place movement. The trend promotes the idea that people should “live in one's own home and community safely, independently, and comfortably, regardless of age, income, or ability level.” According to the expert Michael Saunders, Nuverz is considered a reference for designers in this area. [3][4]
Platforms
The company publishes a Q&A site called Nuverz Answers, where users ask questions and offer answers on issues related to Aging-in-Place and aging in general. Their other platform, Nuverz Advice, contains articles by Ageist founder, David Harry Stewart . [5]
Founders
Among the founders is entrepreneur Sonia Gil. The founding Editor-in-Chief for all the company’s content is Lucero Uribe. [6]
