St. James NEST Speaker Series "Aging in Place: What's Your Plan"

How to Make Your Home Safe as You Age

Speaker: Jeff Pittman, Certified Aging in Place Specialist (CAPS), TruBlue of South Wilmington

Jeff Pittman, a Certified Aging in Place Specialist and owner of TruBlue of South Wilmington, will explain what a Certified Aging in Place Specialist is; what the most important modifications you can make to your home are, to ensure you can safely live in it during your golden years; and how to make your home visitable for anyone.

This program represents one event within the 2022-23 St. James NEST Speaker Series themed Aging in Place: What’s Your Plan? Nearly 90% of adults over age 50 — across all age, race, income, and health status categories—want to remain at home and “age in place.”  But staying in your home is a wish, not a plan. The upcoming speaker series will address how to make that wish more likely to become reality.  If you aren’t yet familiar with St. James NEST, its purpose is to provide services and support to St. James' residents to enhance their ability to make aging in place a reality. The 2022-23 Speaker Series includes several programs that will be delivered through May 2023. Please check the St. James Events Calendar for details on the other programs.
