Making Your House, your home: preparing your home for aging
About Making Your House, Your Home
WNY Aging in Place Council is a program under A Better YOU Lifestyle, Inc. a nonprofit organization dedicated to supporting and empowering our community through various programs and initiatives. Our mission is to make a positive impact and create a better future for all.
Why is Aging in Place Important?
Aging in Place allows seniors to remain in the comfort of their own home and communities rather than moving into an assisted living facility or nursing home.
When Should You Start Preparing?
The best time to start preparing a home for Aging in Place is before changes in health or mobility make modifications urgent.
Major Areas to Address
Bathrooms and kitchens are the main areas that should be addressed.
Financing Home Modifications
Outside of saving. There are a number of ways to fund your Aging in Place home modifications. The workshop goes into details on ways to save and the various funding sources available to assist in the modifications.
