Is just around the corner, September 18-22. This is the 16th annual observance established by the National Coalition on Aging (NCOA), the Falls Free Initiative and other key partners.

Our grant-funded home modification programs support these efforts all year long! We offer individualized home assessments in order to identify and eliminate home safety hazards. These efforts promote aging in place by improving overall safety, preventing injury, increasing accessibility, and enhancing functional ability at home.

Here are some ways you can get involved:

• Check out the 5 tips from NCOA on how to get a jump start on making your home safer today

• Participate in the Falls Prevention Awareness Activities in Pima County happening through September 29

• Learn more about our home modification programs, and for those 62+, check out our Rural Home Access Program (RHAP)
