Adult Children of Aging Parents Series: Staying Put or Moving On: Making the Home Safe Enough

Many older adults want to remain in their homes, but safety—not age—is often the deciding factor. This seminar explores how to assess whether a home can support changing physical needs and what modifications can reduce risk and extend independence. Attendees will learn how to recognize safety red flags, prevent falls, and understand when staying at home works—and when it may quietly become unsafe.

Why this matters now
Most families don’t realize safety—not age—is the real decision driver.
