New Bedford Guide Your Guide to New Bedford and South Coast, MA
As you age and your lifestyle and abilities change, will your home still be a “good fit” for you? A 2010 AARP survey showed that nearly 90 percent of people age 45+ want to stay in their homes as they age. Yet even simple things like cupboard doors and drawer pulls, not to mention steep steps or bathtub access, could present problems for seniors as they grow older.
To find out more about looking at your home with a critical eye for safety, you’re invited to attend an AARP Massachusetts HomeFit Workshop, sponsored by the City of New Bedford’s Department of Community Services Council on Aging, with support from Coastline Elderly Services, Inc. This free workshop, aimed at helping residents 45 and over to identify ways they can modify their homes to fit their changing lifestyles, will be held on Tuesday, June 23, 2015, at the Buttonwood Park Zoo Community Meeting Room from 1:00-2:30 p.m.
Each attendee will receive an AARP HomeFit Workshop Handbook, The AARP HomeFit Guide, and a list of resources for reference. Seating is limited. RSVP requested by Friday, June 19. Register online at aarp.cvent.com/newbedfordhome or call 1-877-926-8300.
