February 5th – Renovate Today, Stay Tomorrow:How to Successfully Age in Place
The design of the home is a critical part of aging in place. Many older people are living in homes with small bathrooms, narrow halls/doors, and other features that become barriers during later life decline. For this reason, they need home modification to remain in the home long-term. This workshop will describe design elements in your home that can make it easier or harder for you to age in place. You will also learn ideas about renovations or changes to make to age in place. Financing options will also be included in the talk.
