It’s time to reframe how we think about housing as we grow older. Aging in place is possible if homes are designed or modified to accommodate for changing needs or if communities have housing options that are suitable for differing incomes, ages and life stages.

AARP Rhode Island’s recent Vital Voices survey of adults age 45 plus found that 85% believe staying in their own home is important.  Nearly half consider the availability of affordable housing a very serious problem in our state.

Join AARP Rhode Island for a FREE virtual forum as we explore exciting housing possibilities and trends. National and local experts will discuss housing choices such as accessory dwelling units (ADUs), tiny homes, intergenerational home sharing, communities of mutual support and popular modifications you can make to your current home.
