Aging in Place, An Alternative?
Independence resident Mr. Jeff Budzowski, Graduate Master Builder and Certified Aging-in Place Specialist, has taken courses developed by the National Association of Home Builders and the AARP on how to modify a home allowing owners to occupy the home throughout their aging process. The modifications target people age mid 50’s and up. This presentation is also extremely valuable to adult children of seniors who must make decisions forthcoming regarding their parents as homeowners. Handouts will be available following Mr. Budzowski’s presentation.
Coffee and Cookies will be available to attendees. Realizing that the presidential debate will be aired at 9pm., the Homeowners meeting will end promptly just before 9pm.
