While we work hard to prepare ourselves for retirement in our senior years we may forget, or not know how, to prepare our homes to age with us. Our homes should be a safe haven where we feel comfortable and independent. Unfortunately, the reality is that as we grow older our homes look more like an obstacle course than a place of rest. Denise will walk us through solutions to some of the challenges we facer. Reservations required. Light refreshments served. Drawing for door prize.
