Home Safety Assessments are performed by a Certified Aging in Place Specialist.

Home modifications may be completed by licensed contractors or skilled and caring volunteers, and range from small repairs to larger modifications, each in support of your remaining in your own home safely.

Services are provided free of charge to qualified, lower-income residents and on a sliding fee scale for other residents.
