Home Safety Solutions Helps Seniors Age in Their Own Homes

Hartford HealthCare Center for Healthy Aging pilots a new service line to keep seniors safe.

As you get older, living safely and comfortably in the home that you love is a top priority. A new service from the Hartford HealthCare Center for Healthy Aging can make aging in place a reality, at least for a little longer. The Center’s Home Safety Solutions program can be a first step before hiring a caregiver or considering a move to senior housing or assisted living.
