SEPTEMBER
A Home Fit for Aging | Wednesday, September 10 at 1:30 p.m. (Fargo Public Library - Dr. James Carlson Branch)
AARP surveys consistently find that older adults want to remain in their current homes and communities for as long as possible. Yet barely one percent of the nation’s housing supply contains any “universal design” elements—such as single story living or a sink that can be reached from a wheelchair. That’s where AARP HomeFit comes in. You’ll receive a free AARP HomeFit Guide (also available at aarp.org/yourhome) which can help individuals and families make their current or future residence–or that of a loved one–their “lifelong home.” Space is limited, register today
