Many older adults prefer to remain at home and within their communities, which makes home modifications and repairs increasingly important. Home modifications involve altering or adapting features of a residence to better accommodate the needs of older adults. These changes can support independent living, facilitate caregiving, and help prevent falls. Examples include accessibility improvements, such as widening doorways, and measures to reduce fall risk and related injuries, like enhancing lighting or installing grab bars.
The Home Repair program, provides carpentry, plumbing, electrical and other minor repairs necessary to preserve health and safety for clients 60 or older in owner-occupied homes. Priority is given to low-income older adults. Financial and material donations are accepted.
