In this paper, we outline our recent adventures in Action Research in which we developed a publicly available toolkit to help older adults and their caregivers navigate the health and home care systems in our province in Canada. We outline the trajectory that brought us to Action Research and describe the project we undertook to provide practical support for older adults and their caregivers in our community. We reflect on the process of research, including our work with policy makers and key stakeholders in our efforts to make change. In the hope it might provide guidance to those beginning their own work in research for change, we reflect on lessons learned, including the personal and professional challenges and successes we encountered in our ongoing commitment to this work
