Session IV: “Is Your Home Age Friendly?
How to Assess Your Apartment for Safety.”
Thursday, April 13th 10 am – 11:30 am
Come take a virtual tour of your apartment and learn what modifications you can make to age safely in your home! Most of us want to age in place but we don’t know what to do to prevent falls and ensure that our home environment is safe. Once you understand the changes to make, learn about your rights to get the modifications you need, and determine if you may be eligible for a grant to pay for them.
On Thursday, April 13th from 10 am – 11:30 am, hear from leading experts about how to assess your apartment to prevent falls and create a safe environment as you age.
The April 13th Roundtable will feature:
- Rosemary Bakker, Home Therapeutic Modification Coordinator, Health Advocates for Older People (HAFOP)
- Josh Krasner, Home Safety and Fall Prevention Coordinator, HAFOP
- Anna Martinez, Director, Equal Access Project, NYC Commission on Human Rights
- Madhulika Murali, Legal Coordinator, Fair Housing Justice Center
- Craig Waletzko, Community Engagement Coordinator, Fair Housing Justice Center
You will have the option of joining the event online through Zoom, a webinar hosting service.
You will also have the option to view the event online through Facebook. Please note that you do not need a Facebook account or profile to view the event through Facebook.
If you do not have access to a computer, tablet, or other electronic device, you can listen in by telephone.
**If you register for an event, a confirmation email with the Zoom link and the call-in information will be sent at least a week in advance of the event.**
The event will feature a question and answer session with Rosemary Bakker, Josh Krasner, Anna Martinez, Madhulika Murali, and Craig Waletzko. If you want to know which age-related changes to make to create a safe living space, what your rights are to get those changes made, and if you may be eligible for grant to pay for them, join us at the April 13th Roundtable. Attendees will be able to submit questions through Zoom and Facebook during the event but are *strongly* encouraged to submit them in advance.
