Do you want to stay in the home you love safely, comfortably, and independently for years to come?
The AARP HomeFit Workshop is designed to help you do just that. Many older adults want to remain in their homes and communities as they age, yet most homes aren't built with features that support changing needs. This free AARP workshop, hosted by Kings Park Library, shows you how small, smart updates can make a big difference.
Based on the free <a href="https://www.aarp.org/livable-communities/housing/info-2020/homefit-guide/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">AARP HomeFit Guide</a>, this engaging session will help you identify practical home modifications that fit your lifestyle, budget, and future needs. You'll gain fresh ideas and inspiration for simple changes that can make daily activities easier, reduce the risk of injury, and support long-term independence.
Whether you're planning for yourself or helping a loved one, you'll leave with the knowledge and confidence to turn your current house into a safe, functional, and comfortable "lifelong home."
<a href="https://librarycalendar.fairfaxcounty.gov/event/15475529" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">Join us</a> and take the first step toward living better at home. *This is not an AARP event. Any information you share shall be governed by the host organization's privacy policies.
